WEEKEND RESULTS 
              

Only forty-one of us managed to pick up some goals this weekend as the top flight teams games were cancelled due to the European Championship games being played in midweek and all over the weekend.

We did have two players to pick up the highest score with six goals each. They were Steven Cadwell and our 2001/02 Champion, Laurie King. Laurie received his goals from Peterborough 1 and Rnagers 5. His third team is Arsenal.

The highest score that we had over the weekend once again came from RANGERS in the Scottish Championship. They picked up another five goals this weekend as they won 5-0 at home against Raith. This is their fourth game with five goals and they have now scored twenty-one goals in their last five games. Rangers are now on 27 goals. Rangers are our best team by far this weekend. Just wondering how many people out there now want Rangers in their combination?
