Leeds clinch cup

Lawyers win legal football tournament shock! For a decade, no law firm had won the Leeds Law League Shield Cup, despite its name.

In that time, bankers, recruitment consultants and even accountants enjoyed bragging rights over their legal colleagues, made even worse by the fact that they were beating solicitors in their own backyard.

But thanks to McCormicks, the five-a-side trophy is back where it belongs, Obiter is thrilled to announce.

'We can now hold our heads high on the streets, and in the courtrooms and bars of Leeds,' says jubilant skipper Ben Sheppard.

McCormicks is well known for acting as Leeds United's solicitors, but rumours that the teamsheet read 'Martyn, Ferdinand, Kewell, Smith (Alan) and Viduka' are, we are assured, nothing more than misinformation spread by jealous beancounters.
