Week Thirty-Four

It’s Week Thirty-Four of Season 34 and we had no payout this weekend all due to the World Cup qualifying rounds over the weekend. So we have another Rollover for £12 this weekend coming which will be our seventh of the season.

Well done to England on winning their fourth group game out of five and top of the Group F as they win 2-0 against Lithuania. Looks good for England in next years Russian World Cup.

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT

We had two players that picked up the highest score in midweek with 3 goals each from Millwall and we had another six players that also picked up some more goals.

But we have added another players name to our list this week at last. DARYL NICHOLLS is still on a total of 109 goals this week and still in front. He has Celtic, Brighton and Newcastle. In second place on 101 goals is LUCIFER the Cat or John Wood. He picked up the goals from Accrington Stanley. His other teams are Brighton and Newcastle.The only other player to score 100 goals in midweek is ANDY EYLES. Andy has Manchester City, Newcastle and Rangers. So we once again are still waiting to see if  Daryl can beat our highest midweek score set by Paul Davey in our 2013/14 Season of a total of 132 goals.       

WEEKEND RESULTS

Due to the International games that have been played over the weekend, we only had the English League’s one and two plus a couple of our Scottish teams in action. The average score which is not surprising fell down to a flat zero.  We had Just twenty-three of our teams in action over the weekend in which eight of the teams failed to score any goals. So in that respect a very dull weekend here at Golden Goals.

The highest score over the weekend came from the English League One SCUNTHORPE and in League Two YEOVIL as both teams picked up the score of three goals each.

Scunthorpe won 3-2 at home to BRADFORD to take their goals tally to 73 while Bradford are on a total of 55 goals and they have now scored in all of their last thirteen games. Yeovil drew 3-3 away to Exeter and that now gives them a total of 47 goals.
