Week Twenty And Half Time

LAURIE KING is now in his fourth weekend at the top at half time. Laurie picked up just one goal this week and the goal came from Rangers at the weekend. His combination is  Arsenal , Peterborough  and Rangers. Laurie is just two goals clear of  RICHARD WILLIAMS as his remains in second place once again. Richards teams  picked him up two goals all from the weekend. His teams are Hibernian, Manchester City and Rangers.

At the other end, it’s still JOHN NICHOLLS now in his nineteenth weekend at number 119 as his combination picked him up five goals for the week. He had two goals in midweek from Bolton and the other three came from the weekend. His teams are Arsenal, Bolton and  Newcastle. 

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT 
Most of us managed to pick up some more goals this week but the highest score this week was a total of six goals and they went to BOB BURGIN (Stalky (2) who had Derby 4 and MK Dons 2 and JAMES SOMERVILLE who had Derby 4 and Ipswich 2. Both have Celtic as their third team.   
So at half time here at Golden Goals we still have two players out in front as we go into the Christmas period. CRAIG EVANS and DANIEL GOODSON are both sharing the lead again this week as both picked up a single goal to move their total up to 49 goals and nearly half way to the cash. In second place is TONY KING who moved up from five with 45 goals. In third place all on 44 goals we have BARBARA BARNES (2), JAMES HUNTER and TOM MACDONALD all moved up from fourth place with RICHARD WILLIAMS moving down one place. NATHAN TREADWELL remains in third place with DAVID STAINS coming straight in. In fourth place on 43 goals we have JAMES WISE joining in now. 

Once again this weekend we had two winners to share the £5 cash jackpot which means that we have now had a total of 23 winners. Our winners are  MICHEAL FISHER and NATALIE RAMSDEN both winning on a score of 7 goals each which is the lowest score we have to date for our 33rd Season.
Micheal is in his second season with us. Last season he finished in 96th place out of 106 with a grand total of 221 goals. Out of his combination from last season, he has only kept Manchester United. This season he has had a total of  four blank score sheets and his highest position was 63rd from week one. So his first lot of cash with Golden Goals and we still have plenty of weeks yet for Micheal to win even more in the second half of the season.
Natalie is in her very first second season with us and she is now the second lady to win cash this season. Natalie has not  had any blank score sheets to date and this is the highest that she has been so far.

Micheal  BURTON ALBION 3, CHELSEA 3, MANCHESTER UNITED 1
Natalie  BRENTFORD 4, LUTON 3, MANCHESTER CITY - 

WEEKEND RESULTS                                
Once again our top teams did not have a great weekend for goals although Manchester City and Arsenal had no game. So the average score was effected by them not in action over the weekend as the average score fell from five of last weekend to just 3 goals this weekend. This weekend we had four of our teams that had no game and another seventeen teams failed to score any goals.
We had four teams that picked up the highest score with four goals each. They were from the English Championship, BRENTFORD who won 4-2 at home against Huddersfield.

Burnley are on 30 goals and they have just one vote this season. Charlton picked up their 10th blank score sheet.
From the Scottish Prem, ABERDEEN also picked up their highest score of the season as they win 4-0 away to Kilmarnock. With just a single vote this season, they are now on 32 goals.
