Our worst performing team is SHEFFIELD UNITED this weekend, as they have picked up 6 blank score sheets in their 11 league/cup games.

Week Ten

In Week Ten of the competition we are half-way through the first half. There was no Weekend Prize Money this weekend, due to the International games. That means that we will have our second Rollover of the season worth £10 next weekend. 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT

Most of us managed to pick up some goals this week, which means that our top five have had a slight change this week. In the lead this week we still have EMMAF now with a total of 38 goals. Her teams are Ayr United, Brighton and Crewe. In second place we still have DAVID BARRETT with 30 goals.
