In Week Twenty-One of the competition it’s the start of the second half here at Golden Goals, but we are now really seeing games cancelled due to the new Covid variant. It was hopped to have our Christmas Weekend Jackpot of £10 on Boxing day, but we have under 50% of our teams in action on that day. In fact we had just twenty-two that managed to play. So we are going to Rollover the £10 Jackpot and add it to next weeks Jackpot of £5 to give a lucky player a total of £15 to win in the first week of the New year. It had TONY GUY (2) and SAM LEGHORN (once again) that picked up our highest score with a total of 14 goals each. Tony’s teams are Arsenal 5, Chelsea 3 an d Manchester City 6. Sam’s teams are Arsenal 5, Manchester City 6, Tottenham 3.

His teams are Arsenal, Liverpool and Rangers. Chris is now on a total of 56 midweek goals. We have LOUIE HARRINGTON remaining in the lead to end 2021. Louie has a total of 64 goals.

WEEKEND RESULTS
As we have said that we had just twenty-two of our teams that managed to play on Boxing Day after the rest of the games were cancelled due to teams picking up the new Covid variant.
