Week Thirty-Seven


In Week Thirty-Seven of the competition and I can not believe how many Rollover’s that we have had this season as we are set up for another one next weekend. This weekend we had five players that picked up the highest score of ten goals each. They were BRADLEY CLARK, PAUL DAVEY, DANIEL GOODSON, RICKY MILES and KELLIE STRATTON. So once again we will have a Rollover worth £12 next weekend.

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
Well it looks like the race to beat the record number of midweek goals scored by Daryl Nicholls from last season with 136 goals is not going to happen now..
STEVE REEVE is now on a total of 107 goals with JAMES BLYTH behind me in second place on a total of 106 goals. In third place on 98 goals we have TOM BAXTER this week. In fourth place on 96 is JUNE TIGHE while in fifth place on 95 goals is STEPHEN CADWELL.

WEEKEND RESULTS
We had a fairly good weekend for goals this week with all but four of our teams in action. Out of the rest, fifteen failed to score any goals. So this weekends average score remained at 5 goals.
The highest score that we had came from the Scottish WILLIAM HILL CUP Semi-Final where CELTIC beat their rivals RANGERS 4-0. Celtic who are looking to get their eighth consecutive season of netting 100 or more goals in a season, take this seasons total to 94. Rangers picked up their seventh blank score sheet of the season.
Celtic are just one of our four teams that have been all the way through our 35 Seasons and they were our second voted Scottish team in our first season, after Aberdeen, where they finished on a total of 116 goals. Their highest score came last season with 134 goals. Over the years they have netted a total of 3397 goals which gives them an average score of 97 goals per season. They have a total of 113 votes this season and they have picked up a total of six blank score sheets so far.
