Bolton 1 in 6

Last night we had two of our Golden Goals teams in action and they could not be more different in this season’s competition.

In the English Championship, BOLTON managed to score their first goal of the season last weekend and we thought that they were at last on the goal ladder, but how wrong we were. Bolton Played Blackburn away and drew 0-0. This was their 5^th blank score sheet of the season and now just one goal in six games this season played.

On the other side to football, FALKIRK in the Scottish Championship won their game 2-1 at home to Dumbarton. They have now scored in all of their six games and they are now on a total of 12 goals. Both teams have just one vote each.
