WEEKEND RESULTS
With a full weekend fixture in which we had 4 teams without a game over the weekend, with another 10 of our teams that failed to score any goals. The average weekend score went up slightly from three goals last weekend to 5 goals this weekend, so well done if your teams picked up more than that. The highest score over the weekend was 4 goals, and they came from League One where CARDIFF CITY won 4-3 at home to LEYTON ORIENT. Cardiff have taken their goals tally to 26 goals. Orient are now on a total of 16 goals.
Cardiff started with Golden Goals in our second season in 1984/85. In that season they became our 35th voted English team and finished with a total of 52 goals. Their highest score came in the 2000/01 season with 106 goals, which is the only time that they have netted over 100 goals. Last time out, as in the 2021/22 season, when they finished with a total of 56 goals. This is their 24th season with us and over the years they have netted a total of 1661 goals, which gives them an average score of 69 goals per season.
