Week Sixteen

We did not have a brilliant week for goals but RICHARD WILLIAMS is in his third weekend at the top as he picks up a total of five goals for the week. Richard’s combination of  teams picked him up a total of two goals in midweek from Hibs and the other three came at the weekend. Richard is now on a total of 124 goals. His teams are Hibernian, Manchester City and Rangers. He is three goals in front of LAURIE KING who moves up to second  place after his teams picked him up a total of seven goals all coming from the weekend. Our 2001/02 Champion’s  teams are Arsenal, Peterborough and Rangers.

At the other end, it’s still JOHN NICHOLLS now in his fifteenth weekend at number 119 as his combination picked him up just tow goals all coming from the weekend.  His teams are Arsenal, Bolton and  Newcastle. 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT 
Once again this week just one of us managed to pick up the highest score this week with seven goals and they all went to BARRY BURROUGHS who had Queens Park and Middlesbrough, who beat QPR 1-0. His third team is Manchester City. Barry is now on a total of 32 midweek goals and slightly behind the field. So there was just a little change in the race for the cash this week.
CRAIG EVANS is in the lead this week after he picked up one goal from Middlesbrough. (His teams are Hearts, Manchester City and Middlesbrough). Craig has a total of 42 goals. In second place we have DANIEL GOODSON with 38 goals.  In third place up from four of last week we have RICHARD WILLIAMS on 36 goals.
