Week Seventeen

LAURIE KING becomes our 8^th persons to reach that top spot this season. Laurie is our 2001/02 Champion and he also has the highest ever end of season score of 355 goals.  Laurie’s teams are Arsenal, Peterborough and Rangers who picked him up a total of eight goals for the week with five coming from the weekend. Laurie is now two goals clear of last weeks leader RICHARD WILLIAMS as his teams  picked up just three goals from Hibernian, Manchester City and Rangers.

At the other end, it’s still JOHN NICHOLLS now in his sixteenth weekend at number 119 as his combination once again picked him up just two goals all coming from the weekend.  His teams are Arsenal, Bolton and Newcastle.

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT 

Just under half of us managed to pick up some more goals this week but the highest score this week with eight goals and they all went to GRAHAM WARMAN who had Portsmouth and Derby., His third team is Celtic. Graham is now on a total of 26 midweek goals and way behind the field. So there was just a little change in the race for the cash again this week and the field is beginning to thin out a bit.

CRAIG EVANS is still in the lead this week even though none of this teams were in action. His teams are Hearts, Manchester City and Middlesbrough. Craig has a total of 42 goals. Still in second place we have DANIEL GOODSON with 38 goals.  In third place up from four of last week we have NATHAN TREADWELL on a total of 37 goals while in fourth place both on 36 goals we have RICHARD WILLIAMS down from three and up from five MARK HOWARD. Down from four to five this week is TONY KING on 35 goals. 

This weekend we had two winners and the reason for that is that both have the same combination which is entirely my fault. So not to miss out on the Cash Prize Money of £5 this weekend both will receive £5 each. Our winners are GEOFF CARTHY and ALEXANDER REEVES both with 10 goals each. This is their highest score of the season and they have had not had any blank score sheets this season so far. Their best team is Celtic netting 45 of their total of 115 goals. Their teams are

CELTIC 3, MANCHESTER CITY 3, SWINDON 4

Her other two teams are Arsenal and Manchester City. But sorry to say that due to the lack of Golden Goals teams in action over the weekend due to the Internationals,  Amanda has not picked up any cash. The good news is that this weekend we will have our fourth Rollover worth £10.

WEEKEND RESULTS                                

Okay so we only had twenty of our teams in action over the weekend but the good news to those who had any of their teams playing was that only four failed to score any goals. This means that twenty-eight of you did get some goals this weekend and a step nearer the top.

The highest score that we had came from the Scottish Championship where FALKIRK beat Alloa 5-0 at home. The result still leaves Falkirk in third place in the league and this is their third time of netting five goals in a game. They only have one vote this season.
