At last it’s nice to report some our our football games once again after all of the International games have now been played, so it’s back to business once again.

In the Championship, CARDIFF drew 1-1 at home to SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY and that is their 17^th goal of the season and they have now scored in all of their last seven games. Wednesday picked up their 18^th goal.

In League One, LINCOLN CITY drew 0-0 at home to Shrewsbury to pick up their fourth blank score sheet and now two in a row. SOUTHEND drew 1-1 away to Tranmere and they are now on a total of 17 goals. They are still second from bottom.

Week Eleven

In Week Eleven of the competition due to the European Championship games, there was no winner this week but the player who picked up the highest score was DARYL NICHOLLS. Daryl picked up six goals all coming from Mansfield  while his other teams, Celtic and  Manchester City had a rest this weekend.

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT

The race for the cash has remained the same as last week. In the lead with a total of 26 goals we have COLIN WEBB (2). In second place both on 25 goals we still have EMMA SAWYER and STEVE STUBBS. In third place on 24 goals we have ANDY EYLES. In fourth place is RYAN WILLIAMS on 23 goals. In fifth place all on 22 goals we have MATT DORAN, PATRICK O’DONAGHUE and JAMIE WOOD. We then still have five players on 21 goals.

WEEKEND RESULTS

This weekend we only had just seventeen of our teams in action but out of them five teams failed to score any goals. So it is not surprising that our average score this weekend was a flat zero. Most of us picked up our second blank score sheet of the season.  

The highest score that we had came from the League Two where MANSFIELD picked up their highest result of the season by winning 6-1 at home to OLDHAM. Mansfield have now taken their goals tally up to 21 goals while Oldham picked up goal number 16.

Mansfield have been with the competition for six seasons now and this is their third consecutive season. Mansfield started with Golden Goals in the 1986/87 Season where they became our 53^rd voted English team to play. In that season they finished on a score of 55 goals. Their highest score came from last season (2018/19) where they finished on a score of 78 goals. Over the years they have scored a total of 345 goals which gives them an average score of 57 goals per season. This season they have just one vote and they have picked up a total of five blank score sheets in fourteen games.
