Week Twenty-Nine

RICHARD WILLIAMS has moved back to the top this weekend and this is now his eighth weekend at the top.  Richard’s combination picked him up a total of eight goals over the week. Five came from the weekend from Hibernian, Manchester City and Rangers. SIMON DICKINSON who had just one weekend at the top now finds himself three goals behind Richard. Simon's teams picked him up five goals all from the weekend from Celtic, Manchester City and Portsmouth.

At the other end, it’s still STEPTOE & SON at number 119 for his fifth weekend as his combination picked him up just two goals at the weekend once again. They came from Queens Park Rangers and Queens Park with a goal each while  Queen of the South failed to score at the weekend. 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
There was twenty-six of you that picked up some more midweek goals this week and out of them another three players reached that magic score 50 or more goals bringing the total up to 65 this week. The highest score this week was a total of five goals and they went to STEVE CADWELL. Steve picked up his goals from Berwick with three and Rangers with two goals. Leyton Orient  is his third team. He now has a total of 42 midweek goals.
So this is how the race to £40 is looking this week. We have three players that are still in joint leadership this week. They are JOHN DAVIES, DANIEL GOODSON and JAMES HUNTER who are all on a total of 67 goals. Still in second place we have CRAIG EVANS and DAVE WESTON. Both are on 64 goals. In third place all on 63 goals we still have ADRIAN BEW and MARK UNSTEAD but they are now joined with JAMES WISE up from four and RICHARD WILLIAMS up from fifth place. In fourth place up from five we have TOM MACDONALD now on 62 goals while in fifth place both on 61 goals we have CHRIS BOLBERY down from fourth place and TONY KING comes back in. 

This weekend we had our 40th winner of the season as PHIL COLLINS wins on a total of 12 goals. This is his personal best weekend score and it catapults him up to 55th place. This is not his highest as he was in 29th place in week one. Phil has been with Golden Goals since season 2004/05 where he finished in 45th place on 266 goals he also picked up the Christmas weekend jackpot of £10. Last season he finished in 105th place on 202 goals but no cash that time round. This Season, Phil has had just three blank score sheets for the weekend and his best team is Celtic.

  CARDIFF 4, CELTIC 3, CHELSEA 5 

WEEKEND RESULTS                          
We have had a fairly good weekend of football as our average score remained at 4 goals for a second weekend. Even though we had eleven teams that had now game and another twelve teams that failed to score any goals.
We had the fifth round of the FA Cup and this is where the highest score came from. In fact we had two teams that picked up the weekends highest score with five goals each and they were both London teams. First up is WEST HAM as they beat Blackburn 5-1 away. This is West ham’s highest score this season and they are now on a total of 49 goals. West Ham was our 7th most voted team from our very first season of 1983/84 where they finished on a total of 79 goals.
Their highest score came in our 1989/90 Season with 91 goals. Last season they picked up a total of 89 goals. This is their 26th Season with Golden Goals and over the seasons they have netted a total of 1670 goals which gives them an average score of 64 goals per season to date.
