Week Thirty-Three

In Week Thirty-Three of the competition we had our 32nd winner of the season winning on a total of 11 goals. That player is GRANT PHILLIPS who won the full cash prize money of £5. Grant started with Golden Goals back in the 2012/13 Season on where he finished in the winning frame in 10th place with a total of 295 goals. He also picked up three weekend wins in that season. Last season Grant once again, finished in the winning frame in 7th place with 287 goals and a shared weekend win. This season Grant has struggled to keep on the first page as 37th place has been his highest in Week Twenty-Three. With only one blank weekend score sheet, he should be doing better than he is. His best team is Manchester City. His winning teams are 

CHELSEA 2, MANCHESTER CITY 4, SALFORD CITY 5
