Week Fourteen

In Week Fourteen of the competition we had our seventeenth winner of the season who won on a score of 11 goals. Our winner is MALCOLM STUBBS and he collects the full £6 cash prize money this weekend.
Malcolm has been with Golden Goals for over 24 Seasons and it’s players like him that has kept this competition going.  In our 1996/97 Season, Malcolm finished in 68th place on 236 goals. Last season he finished in 51st place on a total of 298 goals. This season Malcolm is back in the winning frame and his highest position to date is 8th place in Week Two. He has picked up just two blank score sheets and his best team is Celtic. Here are his teams

CARDIFF 4, CELTIC 5, MANCHESTER CITY 2

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
Only three of us picked failed to up a goal or two this week and the race for the cash has changed once again. The player to pick up the most goals was NYE COOPER who picked up a total of 14 goals from his combination. They came from Arsenal 5, Liverpool 5 and Rangers 4. That now gives Nye a total of 27 midweek goals.
So in the lead now with a total of 38 goals we still have COLIN WEBB (2). Moving up from sixth place to second we have JACQUI WILLIAMS with 36 goals. In third place up from four is RYAN WILLIAMS with 35 goals. In fourth place up from six we have ANDY EYLES with a total of 34 goals. In fifth place all on 33 goals we have SIMON DICKINSON, DANIEL HUGHES, PATRICK O’DONAGHUE with ADAM SANSOM. In sixth place all on 32 goals we still have RICHARD WILLIAMS but he is now joined with MIKE HARRINGTON and PHIL REEVE.

WEEKEND RESULTS
We had just five of our teams without a game over the weekend and another twelve that failed to score any goals. It’ seems like a few of our top teams had luck on their side to win their games this weekend. The weekends average score for the second weekend running stayed at 6 goals.  Once again we can thank the Celtic/Manchester City combo as they picked up seven goals again between them. But the good news is that we all once again picked up goals.
The highest score that we had this weekend came from the Scottish Betfred Cup Semi-Finals where CELTIC won 5-2 away to Hibernian. Celtic are really going for them goals and they are now on a total of 46 goals. At this stage last season, Celtic were on a total of 34 goals.
