Week Fourteen

In Week Fourteen of the competition, we had two winners this weekend to share the £6 Weekend Jackpot on 15 goals each.  Our winners are GEOFF CARTHY and our two time Champion PHIL REEVE.  Both are first time winners this season which now takes our winners total up to thirteen.
Geoff  has been with Golden Goals for a very long while now and last season he finished in 69th place on a total of 272 goals. He picked up one shared weekend win. This season, Geoff  has had just one blank score sheet at the weekend and this is his personal best score. The highest that he has been is 23rd place in our first weekend of football.
Phil is just one of our players to be Champions twice. He first got their in the 1987/88 Season and then again in the 2011/12. Phil, being a lovely brother as he is, has been with the competition for the full thirty-six seasons. Last season he finished in fourth place in the winning frame on 323 goals. He won a total of £52. Picking up his personal best score for this season, he has picked up two blank score sheets at the weekend and this is his highest position to date.
