WEEKEND RESULTS

Due to the Internationals being played over the weekend, we only had seventeen of our teams in action, which came from the English Leagues One and Two. Out of them only one failed to score any goals.

The Highest score over the weekend was four goals and they came from LUTON in League Two. They beat Wycombe 4-1 at home which now takes their goals tally to 17 goals with their biggest win of the season.

Luton became our second most voted team in our very first season of 1983/84. In that season they finished on a total of 61 goals. We had to wait till the 2001/02 Season before they picked up their highest score of 98 goals. Last season they finished on 69 goals. This season we see Luton in their 14^th season with Golden Goals and they have just two votes. Over the years they have netted a total of 983 goals which gives them an average score of 70 goals per season.
