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

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT 
Only eleven of us managed to pick up some more goals this week but the highest score this week was a total of just three goals and they all went to STEPTOE & SON who had Queens Park 2 and Queen of the South 1. Their third team is QPR. The rag and bone men of Golden Goals are now on a total of 23 midweek goals and a bit behind the field.
So there was just two changes in the race for the cash this week. CRAIG EVANS and DANIEL GOODSON are both sharing the lead again this week both on a total of 48 goals. In second place is still RICHARD WILLIAMS with 44 goals. In third we still have NATHAN TREADWELL on a total of 43 goals while in fourth place on 42 goals we have BARBARA BARNES (2) and TOM MACDONALD but up from five this week we have JAMES HUNTER to join them. In fifth place we have JOHN DAVIES and TONY KING both on 41 goals. In sixth place this week we have MARK HOWARD and ADRIAN BEW and back in BARRY BORROUGHS all on 40 goals. 

This weekend we had two winners to share the £5 cash jackpot this weekend which means that we have now had a total of 21 winners. Our winners are  SIMON DICKINSON and GRAHAM WARMAN both winning on a score of 9 goals each.
Simon has been with the competition for fourteen seasons now and I thank him for his loyal support. Simon started with us back in our 2002/03 season, where he finished in the winning frame in 24th place on a total of 301 goals.Not only did he finish in the winning frame picking up £4 in cash, but he also won the 100 Midweek Goals Jackpot of £20. Last season he finished in the winning frame once again in 8th place on 293 goals taking home £19 in cash.
This season, Simon has picked up two blank score sheets and he has equalled his highest score of the season with week two. His best team is Celtic picking him up 48 of his 136 total and we see Simon at his highest position to date.
Graham is in his second season with us and last season he finished in 85th place on 235 goals. This season only keeping Celtic from last season, Graham has also had two blank score sheets and this is his highest score to date. “8th is his highest position in week three.

Simon  CELTIC 3, MANCHESTER CITY 2, PORTSMOUTH 4

WEEKEND RESULTS                                
Our teams did not have a great weekend for goals last weekend and they certainly did not do any better this weekend. But the good news is that the average score shot up from one of last weekend to 5 goals this weekend. It’s really strange as we had eight of our teams that had no game which most were cancelled due to  the weather. Another twelve teams failed to score any goals.
The highest score that we had came from PORTSMOUTH in league two as they win 4-0 at home against Hartlepool.
Portsmouth are now on a total of 43 goals and they have now scored thirteen goals in their last four games. They are currently in fourth place in the league and they have four votes this season.
