Week Twenty-One

In Week Twenty-One of the competition we can now start the second half.  We had just one player to pick up the full amount of cash this weekend with the Christmas Jackpot worth £10. For his first win of the season it went to CHRIS BOLBERY who now becomes our 29th winner with this season’s record score of 14 goals.
Chris started with Golden Goals back in the 1997/98 Season where he finished in 39th place on a total of 252 goals. Last season he finished in 66th place on 286 goals. This season we see Chris in second place for the second week and he has only had two blank score sheets from the weekend. His best team is Manchester City and the rest of his teams are

CELTIC 3, MANCHESTER CITY 4, WIGAN 7

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
We now have a total of forty-three players that are on 50 or more midweek goals and what a week it was.  We had one player that picked up the most with 10 goals and they all went to  JOHN DOVE.  His goals came from Arsenal four from their two games played and three each from Everton and Liverpool. That takes John’s midweek total to 37 but he is still some way behind the leaders. The race for the cash has changed slightly again this week.
Still in first place now on 61 goals we have JAMES BLYTH. In second place on 60 goals we now have DAVE WOOD. In third place on 59 goals is ROB FREEMAN and MIKE PEPPERRELL both moving up from five. In fourth place on 58 goals we have MATT DORAN, TONY GUY (1), STEPHEN LEADER, GRAHAM PHILLIPS and JULIE SOMERVILLE.  In fifth place all on 57 we have SIMON DICKINSON, TONY GUY (2) and (Me) STEVE REEVE.

WEEKEND RESULTS
This weekend the average score moved back up to 5 goals.  After another great start to the week with the midweek results, the weekend did even better. This weekend we had six teams without a game and another eleven teams that failed to score any goals. The highest score that we had over the weekend was seven goals and they came from the League One leaders WIGAN who won 7-0 away to Oxford. The goals take Wigans score up to 58 and they have now scored in all of their last nine games.
Wigan became our 83rd voted English team and they did not start with Golden Goals until the 1992/93 Season where they finished on a total of 51 goals. Their highest score came in our 1998/99 Season with 84 goals. Last time out in the 2015/16 Season they finished on a total of 83 goals. This is there 12th Season with us and they have now netted a total of 774 goals which gives them an average score of 64 goals per season. I think that this is going to be a big season for them and for the three players that have voted for them.
