MIDWEEK GOALS
Most of us once again picked up some goals this week but the race for the cash is now over for this season. In the end the 100 Midweek Goals Prize money of £40 was shared between RAYMOND HARROD and CHRIS SETFORD as both of them had Manchester City who scored five goals in their combo. Ray needed just two goals to win the cash as he was on 98 goals last week with Chris in second place needing five with his total of 95goals. So congratulation to the both of you and here is how the race for the cash finished. Ray and Chris will have their name in our record books for winning the cash in the shortest time of just 28 weeks. This beats the record of 31 weeks from the 2016/17 Season by Daryl Nicholls. So here is the top six and how they finished. RAYMOND HARROD finished top with a total of 104 goals. His teams are Brentford, Celtic and Manchester City. CHRIS SETFORD finished in second place with 100 goals. In third place was MARK GREGORY and SANSA-CLARA-LYANNA both with a total of 99 goals. In fourth place both with 98 goals we had MICHAEL JACOBSON and JAMES SOMERVILLE. In fifth place we had A&A. CLARK and MALCOLM STUBBS both with a total of 97 goals. In sixth place we had DEAN ZANIOUS with 96 goals. But the midweek goals does not stop here. We are now looking to beat the highest midweek score of 136 goals and for the number of players to reach 100 midweek goals this season.
