North vs. south football

At the Good Good Friday 2 ("GGF2") Join MEet, Joinees got together to stage a north versus south "friendly" challenge football match.
This has since become an annual contest with a trophy, the Joinee Cup awarded to the winner, which team retains possession of it for the following year. The trophy has a colourful history of being broken, about which you can read on the Joinee Cup page.
The teams are now bitter rivals: Team South, from the south of the United Kingdom, and Team North, from the north of it. There is no precise definition of the border between north and south. Also, some players choose to play for the side representing where they live, not where they are originally from; hence the chant, "Scotty is a Judas", made at Joinee Scotty Iscariot, the supposed Scot (who's really more like a Texan) who in fact plays for the south due to living in London. When he can be bothered to turn up at all, that is!
Since GGF3, the referee for the match has been Captain K, deemed to be the only Joinee available who was sufficiently fair, impartial, dandy, and cross-border to be able to perform the duties fairly! (He is from the south of Scotland but has lived in the north of it, and has also lived in the south of England, though he now lives in the north of it...)
==Championship==
So far results have been:
* GGF2 – March 2005 – Team South
* GGF3 – April 2006 – Team North
* GGF4 – April 2007 – Team South
* GGF5 – March 2008 – Team North
Here's a post from the Joinee forum with more details and discussion about the standings.
