WEEKEND RESULTS
We had just 3 of our teams without a game over the weekend, with another 10 of them failing to score any goals. Well it’s about time that we had a decent weekend and just in time for Christmas. The average score last weekend was just four goals but this weekend it has shot up to 6 goals, which I think it’s the highest of the season. So if you have managed to pick up more goals than that this weekend, you have done well.
The highest score over the weekend was 5 goals and they came from two of our teams. They are COVE RANGERS and PLYMOUTH. Let’s get on with the results to see how your teams have performed this weekend.
