WEEKEND RESULTS

So we had our very first full weekend fixture and what a good start to the season it was. We had just two teams with no game over the weekend with another thirteen teams that failed to score any goals. So our very first weekend average score was 5 goals. So if your combination picked up more than that, then you have done well.

The Highest score over the weekend was four goals and we had a total of six of our teams that reached that figure. They were LEEDS UNITED, LINCOLN CITY, LIVERPOOL, PETERBOROUGH, PETERHEAD and W.B.A.
