WEEKEND RESULTS
We had 6 of our teams without a game over the weekend, with another 9 of them failing to score any goals. Once again there were not many big results from our teams but we did have a good weekend for goals as most of them scored a goal or two. The average score last weekend was five goals but this weekend it has dropped down to just 4 goals. So if you have managed to pick up more goals than that this weekend, you have done well. The highest score over the weekend was once again 4 goals and they came from three of our teams. They are CARDIFF CITY, CLYDE and CREWE.
Let’s get on with the results to see how your teams have performed this weekend.
