Week Thirty-Four

In Week Thirty-Four of the competition we are heading for our eighth Rollover of the Season next weekend worth £12 in cash. With only thirty-five players picking up any goals this weekend it was JOHN WOOD (Ziggy) team that picked up the most with seven goals. They came from Accrington Stanley 2 and Burton Albion 5. His third team Peterhead who failed to score any goals in their game.

100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
Only two of you managed to pick up some goals in midweek this week and they were MIKE HARRINGTON and GRAHAM WARMAN with one goal each. This week we have not added any new players name to the list with 50 or more midweek goals and this week and we remain with a total of 125 that have reached that mark.
So once again we still have GRAHAM HARRIS at the top who still needs just four goals to win the cash. Graham has Hearts, Tottenham and West Brom and a total of 96 goals. In second place with 88 goals we have KELLIE STRATTON and JUNE TIGHE. In third place we have JOHN DAVIES with a total of 87 goals. In fourth place we have DANNY HARRINGTON on a total of 86 goals.

WEEKEND RESULTS
We only had twenty-five of our teams in action over weekend with six of them failing to score any goals. We had thirty-eight teams that had no game. So the weekends average score fell to a flat zero.
