Week Five

In Week Five of the competition we have had hardly any of our teams in action and this is all down to the World Cup Qualifying Group Rounds. We did have the English Leagues One and Two in action and the results are as below. Next weekend we will have our first Rollover of the season and a Cash Jackpot worth £12.

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT 

As there were no games in midweek due to the World Cup Qualifying Group Rounds  the race for the cash has remained as with last weeks sheet.

Leading the pack we have  JULIE SOMERVILLE who has Aston Villa, Celtic and Reading with a total of 21 goals.  In Second place we have LUCIFER on 20 goals. In joint third place both on 19 goals we have TONY GUY (2) and DAVE WOOD. In fourth place all on 18 goals we have SIMON DICKINSON, MATT DORAN, TONY KING,  AMANDA MORRISON, GRAHAM PHILLIPS and JAMES PLATT.

WEEKEND RESULTS 

We had seventeen of our teams in action over the weekend and they were from the English Leagues One and Two. Out of them nine failed to score any goals. The Highest score over the weekend was four goals and they came from CHARLTON in League One.

CHARLTON started with Golden Goals in our second season of 1984/85 where they were our 38^th English team to enter the competition and they finished on a score of 49 goals. This is their twenty-eighth Season with us and this is their eleventh consecutive season. Last season they finished on a total of 64 goals. Their highest score came in the 1997/98 Season with 91 goals. This season they have just two votes and a total of 14 goals. Over the seasons they have netted a total of  1695 which gives them an average score of 60 goals per season to date.
