The Kestrel Podcast
Steve, Matt, Taff and Stu
The Kestrel Super Stength League is a fantasy football league with a difference: each contestant "owns" one team from the English Premier League who will represent their defence, and 6 players from any EPL team to represent their attack. Goals scored and conceded in real life by these players and teams are used to determine each contestants' weekly result: win, lose or draw. Now in it's 30th year, 8 friends from across the UK battle it out, all vying to claim the coveted KSSL trophy. Follow their progress each week at http://www.amkennisonmedia.com/kestrel/index.php

Episode 5: Why didn't anyone pick Duran?
A double game week means there is plenty to update you with, while a close look at who has actually been scoring leaves most of us lamenting not choosing Duran as our 6th striker. The second coming of, "more or less" sees Taff take over as quiz master as the others try in vain to get anywhere close to his mammoth opening score of 9 last week.

Episode 4: More or Less than Peter Beardsley?
Snoop Cobb gives us his weekly update which includes the shock news of Steve and Taff actually winning a game. We continue to lament missing out on the players who are scoring but who aren't in the Kestrel in the first of 2 new features entitled, "Look at what you could've won!". The second new feature steals the show however as we travel back in time to the first ever Kestrel Season of 1994/95 and play the first ever game of, "More or Less?".
