Week Twenty-Nine

It’s Week Twenty-nine of Season 34 and we had our thirty-second winner of the season to pick up the full £6 this weekend on a winning total of 9 goals. Our winners is our seventh lady to win this season and her name JULIE SOMERVILLE.
Julie is in her very first season with Golden Goals and I would like to thank her for joining in this season. Julie was at number 125 in week two and has been very slowly moving up the table to her highest position to date. Julie has had four weekend blank score sheets but she has picked up a total of 45 goals over the last four weeks. Her best team is Celtic netting a total of 87 of her total of 203 goals. Her combination is

CARDIFF 5, CELTIC 2, CHELSEA 2 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
Most of you managed to pick up some more midweek goals this week with the highest score that we had was nine goals and they went to PHIL COLLINS.  Phil received them from Aberdeen 7 and Manchester City 2. His third team is Manchester United who had no game.
There was just a bit of a change in the race for the cash this week as DARYL NICHOLLS remains in the lead now with a total of 95 goals which means he still needs just five goals to win the £80 cash. In second place and just five goals behind Daryl is GRANT PHILLIPS now on a total of 90 goals. Down to third place on 88 goals we have DANIEL GOODSON. In fourth place we have ANDY EYLES up from five while down from three is MANGO both on a total of 87 goals. In fifth place we have CHRIS SETFORD up from six and STALKY (2) down from fourth place both on 86 goals.

WEEKEND RESULTS
After us having a few high scoring weekends we had a fairly low key weekend for goals as the average score dropped from six goals from last weekend to just 3 goals this weekend.  But the reason for such a low average score is that we had eleven of our teams without a game over the weekend with another eight teams that failed to score any goals.
The highest score over the weekend came from the English Championship where CARDIFF CITY won 5-0 at home to Rotherham. Cardiff  have beaten their record twice in a week where they won 4-3 in midweek to get their highest score of the season and now this beats their midweek record with this 5-0 win. Cardiff with their nine goals this week take their goals tally to 46.
Cardiff are in their nineteenth season with Golden Goals and they started with us in our second season in 1984/85 where they were our 35th voted English team and they finished on a total of 52 goals. It was not till the 2000/01 Season that they picked up their highest end of season score with 106 goals. Last season they finished on a total of 58. Over the season’s they have netted a total of 1342 goals which gives them an average score of 70 goals per season to date. Although they have just one vote this season, they have had a total of twelve blank score sheets in thirty-five games played.

FA CUP Fifth Round
We have had seven of our eight teams that are in this round in action over the weekend with four of them going through to the next round. The highest score here came from TOTTENHAM as they won 3-0 away to Fulham and that now gives them a total of 61 goals and a place in the next round. Also through are MILLWALL with a very late goal against LEICESTER CITY. Millwall take their goals tally to 63 while Leicester picked up their twelfth blank of the season and now just three goals in their last five games. It’s 70 goals for CHELSEA as they won 2-0 away to WOLVES. Wolves picked up their twelfth blank score sheet and now three games in a row with out a goal. MANCHESTER UNITED won 2-1 away to Blackburn to take their goals total to 59.
