Week Thirty

Here we are with Week Thirty of the competition and we are half-way through the season half of the season. We had just one player to win the cash prize money of £5 this week. Our winner becomes our 28th winner of the season and it goes to our 2010/11 Champion TONY GUY with his second combination.

Tony started with us back in the 2010/11 Season on where he became Champion in his very first season with Golden Goals. He won on a score of 307 goals which leaves him in 22nd place in our Champions League. Last season he had three combo’s and it was his second one that finished in the winning frame in 23rd place with a total of 295 goals. His first combo finished in 69th place with 255 goals while his third finished in 64th place with 258 goals. He had just one weekend win worth £10. This season his second combo has done the best for him. It has only picked up two blank score sheets to date. His wining teams are 

 ARSENAL 4, CELTIC 4, SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 5
