Rounding off the coverage of this year's Fans Tourney we bring you the first ever post-match interviews to be aired in sound on the site and the diary of another winner, Ross County chaplain Graham Carle who led his side to success in the Toilet Bowl.

All four trophies are set to go for engraving tomorrow and by the end of the week the prizes and trophies will all be with the respective champions. So in order to bring the curtain down we hand the front page over to the winners, starting with the man with a toilet seat around his neck Mr Graham Carle:

"It started in the pub on Friday at 6pm, we met to discuss preparations for the tournament the next day. That was a big mistake as the lot of us ended up totally and utterly wrecked falling out of the Rock in Dingwall at 2am. The only good thing about the Friday night was getting the strips of Stevie Maclean.

Crawled out of my bed at 8:45 and frantically started phoning everyone to make sure they were up. We were due to set off at 915, but some of us never left to 950!

The first game arrived and pitted us against Lossiemouth, our hangovers clearly showed as we stuttered and struggled against a Lossie team that was well up for it. We just couldn't break them down, and our goalie helped them along the way by slicing a corner into his own net. Norrie gave away a penalty and we were 2-0 down. That was the only time Lossie were in our half, and they had scored twice! Jabs (Guy Morton) pulled one back but we could not get the equaliser.

Second game against Elgin didn't go to plan either as we struggled again with organisation, and we again created very few chances. I was killed by their goalie and a penalty was awarded, I wanted to do a chip penalty but Norrie wouldn't let me and struck his penalty off the post. A few minutes later Elgin scored, and we couldn't get the equaliser.

Third game against Nairn our heads were clearing and for the first time we were finally playing some good football. Ali Gillespie hit the post, and Jonathan Wojtunik fluffed an open goal shot (a theme to be repeated later!). Harold also came close but the goal he craved to score against Nairn never came.

By this time we were not interested in the next game as we thought we were already out, so we just mucked about. But even still we should have beaten a spirited Huntly team. Missed a rake of chances.

The Toilet Bowl everything went right, we started playing the football we were capable of. Scoring 12 goals without replay in easy wins against Reporters (Rats), Elgin 2 and Fraserburgh. The biggest comedy moment was my miss against Reporters 2. But since I scored two and set up the other in the semi I was redeemed.

A great day out and thanks goes to Steven Rattray, the Referees and everyone that organised the tournament.

On a personal note I would like to thank Stevie MacLean for organising our strips, Guy Morton for stepping in as a late replacement, Harold Annand for being outstanding and everyone else: Kenny Kelt, Norman Bain,. Jonathan Wojtunik, Stavros, Paul Robertson, Alistair Gillespie, Derek Cameron.

Already looking forward to next year and the Toilet Bowl prizes, and to hang the trophy once more round my neck!"

Now we have the interviews with the winning manager (who informs me he is not the skipper in the interview despite what was said on the entry form) Chris McHardy and the Goalden Boot winner Andrew Burnett.

As well as being MMPG reporters for the past two years they have also been team mates for a successful Milne's High School side that will be disbanded as the majority of them head off to university in the summer.
