Week Forty

It’s Week Forty of Season 34 and we had some of our teams that have already finished playing their games for this season.
Although we have finished giving away the £6 Weekend Prize Money we had a very good weekend for goals. But you must fill sorry for SIMON DICKINSON this weekend as he picked up a total of 15 goals from his combination and had equaled this season top score. Simon received his goals from Celtic 4, Manchester City 5 and Portsmouth 6.

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
We still have twenty-nine players that have now scored 100 or more midweek goals and we hope that we can get a few more there by the end of the season.
DARYL NICHOLLS is still leading on a total of 128 goals this week. In second place on 122 goals is still LUCIFER the Cat or John Wood. In third place is GRANT PHILLIPS with 115 goals and in fourth place we have STEVEN CADWELL and CHRIS SETFORD both now on 112 goals. I think that we can now say that our highest midweek score set by Paul Davey in our 2013/14 Season with a total of 132 goals will stay with us for another season.

WEEKEND RESULTS
Although we did not have all of our teams in action over the weekend,  the average score for the weekend moved up from six goals last weekend to 7 goals. What a crazy weekend we had as some of our teams went out in s flurry of goals.
Even though we had thirteen teams without a game this weekend with another nine that failed to score any goals.
The highest score that we had over the weekend was six goals and they came from the English League Two Champions PORTSMOUTH.  They picked up their highest score of the season in their very last game in league two as they win 6-1 at home to Cheltenham. Portsmouth have ended their season on 82 goals.

Champions Chelsea had no game this week and they are just four points in front of Tottenham in second place. In third place is LIVERPOOL who drew 0-0 at home to SOUTHAMPTON.

In fourth place is MANCHESTER CITY who won 5-0 at home to Crystal Palace to take their goals tally up to 88 goals.

Bradford will play Millwall in the final on the 20th May.

Our Best Three Teams Are

Our Worst Three Teams Are

OLDHAM (37) KILMARNOCK (37) STOKE (44) Total of 118 goals 

Our Best team on form is still CELTIC after they have scored in all of their forty-three League and Cup games played and netting a total of 122 goals which still gives them an average score of two goals per game.

OLDHAM  have picked up the most number of blank score sheets this season with a total of twenty-six out of their fifty league and cup games played.

Our highest goal scorers in our 34th Season are  HIBERNIAN after they won 8-1 away to non-league team Bonnyrigg Ross in the Fourth Round of the Scottish WILLIAM HILL CUP in Week Twenty-Five.

JUNE TIGHE is in her tenth weekend at the top as she picks up a total of seven goals all from the weekend.  June only had two of her teams left and they were Celtic and Newcastle. Her third team was Sheffield United. June’s lead has now been cut to four goals clear of Grant Phillips who has moved back in to second place this weekend. June has also moved up to 7th place in our Champions League as she has now beaten our 2000/01 Champion Janice Conway who finished on a total of 318 goals and Alice Stubbs from the 2012/13 Season also on 318 goals. With 322 goals and now with our eighth best score is Tony Patman from the 1999/00 Season.

At the other end at number 136 we still have KATHY SOMERVILLE after her combination failed to pick her up any goals for the week. Tottenham failed to score in midweek against West Ham and Yeovil failed to score at the weekend. Her third team was Oldham. Kathy has now been at number 136 for a total of twenty weeks over the season. She is now four goals behind Jason Cooper who picked up just one goal over the weekend. So with no goals this week Kathy has remained in 10th place in our Loser’s League this weekend.
