It’s Week Eight and we had our seventh
weekend winner of the season with the highest score for Season 34 with 15 goals
and the £6 cash prize money went to ELLIE HOLDSWORTH.
Ellie is in
her very first season with Golden Goals and she becomes our
second lady winner to date. Although this is her highest score of the season
she has had just one blank score sheet as we see Ellie back in the top fifty.
This is her highest position to date with her lowest being 88th in
week three. We would like to congratulate Ellie and welcome her to the
competition. Her teams are
CELTIC 6, LIVERPOOL 5, MANCHESTER UNITED 4
The highest
number of goals to be picked up over midweek was a mega 13 goals and they went
to BRUCE
SELF. Bruce
has now taken his midweek goals total to 31. His goals came from Manchester
United 3, Rangers 5 and Tottenham 5. Also the good news is that we all picked
up some goals this week.
This week we have had a
complete change in the race for the cash. DAVID
SMITHERS has now taken up the lead with a total of 45 goals. In second
place both on 41 goals we have CHRIS
SETFORD who moves down one but up from five of last week we have DOUG MORBEY to

who moves up from four both are now on a total of 40 goals. In fourth place all
on 39 goals we have TONY KING and JAMIE WOOD both down from three last

straight in. In fifth place all on 37 goals we have down from four PETER GASPARELLI and down from two DARYL NICHOLLS. KEITH THOMSON has
remained at five and straight in this week we have ANDY EYLES. As you can already see that the midweek race is now
spreading out with the leader ahead by four clear goals.
The average
score for this weekend shot up- from four of last weekend to 8 goals this
weekend. The reason for this is that we all once again all picked up some goals
and some of our teams had a goal feast.
Out of our
fifty-four teams that we have this season, only one team had no game and just
seven had a blank score sheet and some of them picked up their very first blank
score sheet of the season.
The highest
score over the weekend was six goals and they came from the Scottish
Premiership where CELTIC won 6-1 at home to KILMARNOCK. With their highest score of the season Celtic are now
