WEEKEND RESULTS 

We had all but five of our teams in action once again this weekend and out of them eighteen failed to score any goals.

The highest score we had was six goals and they came from SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY. With their biggest result of the season, Wednesday have now taken their goals tally up to 61. Wednesday started with Golden Goals in our very first season of 1983/84. They became our 21^st voted team and in that season they finished on a total of 95 goals. Their highest score came in the 1990/91 Season with 101 goals and that is the only time that they have score 100 goals in a season. The last time that we had Wednesday was in the 2019/20 Season where they finished on a total of 62 goals. This is their 18^th Season with us and they have netted a total of 1368 goals in that time.
