100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
Just under half of us picked up some midweek goals for the 100 Midweek Goals Jackpot of £30 this season. The prize money will go to the first person to reach 100 goals from their three teams.
Taking the lead after week three is our leader again, GRAHAM HARRIS with 15 goals. He has Hearts, Tottenham and W.B.A. In Second place we have GARY BROWN and JAMES SOMERVILLE both with 12 goals each. In third place on 8 goals is still SHARRON BOWN. In fourth place this week we have JAMES BLYTH and TERRIE WARWICK with 7 goals each. In fifth place on 6 goals we have last season’s Champion CHRIS BOLBERY and GRAHAM WARMAN.

WEEKEND RESULTS
What a crazy weekend we had for goals this weekend. Our average score for this weekend was 9 goals which is not a great surprise as so many of you have Celtic/Man City combo. So if your combination picked up more than that, then you have done well. We had seven teams that had no game over the weekend and another eight that failed to score any goals.
The highest score came from the English Championship where WEST BROM picked up the highest result of the season with a 7-1 thrashing of Queens Park Rangers at home. The win puts them third in the league and now on a total of 14 goals. West Brom are our 63rd voted English team when they started in our 1986/87 Season. They finished with 54 goals. They are in their 12th season with us and last season they scored just 41 goals which is their lowest number of goals in a season when they were relegated from the prem last season. West Broms highest score is 109 goals which they scored in the 2007/08 Season. Over the seasons they have netted a total of 807 goals which gives them an average score of 67 goals per season.  They have just four votes this season and they have scored in all of their five games played to date.
