WEEKEND RESULTS

We had all but four of our teams in action and out of the the ones that did play, 13 failed to score any goals. We had a very bad weekend for goals this week as the average score fell from eight last weekend to just 4 goals this weekend. The reason being that our two top teams, Manchester City picked up just one goal and Liverpool failed to score any. But if you did better than that, well done.
