Week Fifteen

In Week Fifteen of the competition and not a very exciting week for us here at Golden Goals as we had the World Cup qualifying rounds being played over the week which meant that not many of our teams got round to playing any games. Still next weekend we will have our third Rollover of the season as our teams get back in league action.

Only three players managed to pick up some midweek goals this week so the race for the cash has remained the same this week. In first place on 42 goals and still two goals clear is JULIE SOMERVILLE. In second place we still have them eleven players all on 40 goals. They are JAMES BLYTH, SIMON DICKINSON, MATT DORAN, GUY DOWSETT (2), PHIL FRANCKSEN, TONY GUY (2), TONY KING, GRAHAM PHILLIPS, CHRIS SETFORD, DAVE WOOD and RICKY WOOD.
