Week Thirty-Seven

It’s Week Thirty-Seven of Season 34 and we did not have any pay out this weekend due to the lack of games over the Easter Weekend. But the good news was that although we only had twenty-one of our teams in action, only three of you failed to pick up any weekend goals. Next weekend we will have our eighth Rollover of the season with another £12 in the pot.

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT

We have now extended our list of players that have now scored 100 or more midweek goals to ten this week.

DARYL NICHOLLS is still leading but now on a total of 119 goals this week. He picked up the goals from Newcastle and Brighton. His other team is Celtic. In second place on 112 goals is still LUCIFER the Cat or John Wood. He picked up the three goals from Brighton and Newcastle. His other teams is Accrington Stanley who failed to score any goals. In third place is CHRIS SETFORD with 105 goals and in joint fourth place we have STEVE CADWELL and PHIL FRANCKSEN both are on 104 goals. Can Daryl or anyone else beat our highest midweek score set by Paul Davey in our 2013/14 Season of a total of 132 goals.

WEEKEND RESULTS

To be honest we did not have a bad  weekend even though we had just twenty-one of our teams in action over the weekend. But the average score went down from seven last weekend to 4 goals this weekend. Out of our twenty-one teams, only four failed to score any goals. The highest score that we had over the weekend was four goals and they came from the English Premiership TOTTENHAM who won 4-0 at home to BOURNEMOUTH.  Tottenham are still in second place behind Chelsea but they are now only four points away from nicking the title from them. Tottenham have now scored in all of their last nine games and they are now on a total of 89 goals with thirteen of them coming from their last four games. Bournemouth picked up blank number ten.

Tottenham have been with Golden Goals for thirty-three seasons now and they started in our very first season ending with a total of 71 goals. They were our tenth most voted team then. Their highest score came in the 1986/87 Season with 109 goals. Last season they finished on 78 goals. Over the years they have netted a total of 2408 goals which gives them an average score of 72 goals per season to date. This season they have a total of 14 votes and they have had just four blank score sheets.
