We had two of our three teams in the FA Cup first round replays last night but only one of them has made it through to the next round.

BRISTOL CITY from League one is that team, as they beat Crawley Town from league two 4-2 after extra time at home. Rovers drew 2-2 at full time but the four goals take’s their goals tally to 34. They have two votes this season.

In the other game YEOVIL go out of the cup as they get beaten by Nation League Solihull Moors 4-2 away on penalties. Yeovil drew 0-0 at full time and then drew 1-1 after extra time. The single goal take’s Yeovil’s goal tally to 21. They have just one vote.

GILLINGHAM are our other team and they will be playing tonight against non-league Brackley away in their replay.

Week Fifteen

It’s Week Fifteen but there were no winners this weekend due to the World Cup Qualifying Rounds being played over midweek and the weekend. So We have another Rollover next weekend worth £12 in cash.

But we did get two players that picked up the highest score of five goals from teams that did manage to play over the weekend. They are FIONA CARTHY from Peterborough 1 and Portsmouth 4 with her third team Celtic who had no game. RICKY WOOD our 2007/08 Champion also picked up five goals also from Peterborough 1 and Portsmouth 4 with his third team Rangers.

WEEKEND RESULTS 

It has been a very quite week here at the Golden Goals HQ as we had the World Cup Qualifying Rounds taking part over the whole week. So many of us this week picked up another blank score sheet with only half of us picking up a goal here and there. Being that the table this season is really tight, there has been a few changes as you have seen.

But with the teams that did manage to play we had a really good weekend for goals with five of our teams picking up four goals each. Out of our fifty-four teams that we have in season 34, we had a total of thirty teams that had no game over the weekend and out of the twenty-four teams that did play only six failed to net any goals.
