Countdown to Season 41

It’s nearly time for you to start thinking about your three teams as we have a total of 18 days before the entry forms are sent out on the 17th July 2023. 

This unique competition has now been running for 40 consecutive seasons and with 41 just around the corner Golden Goals has stood the test of time. 

The Competition first started way back in 1983 and has built up a regular fan base of an average total of 88 players per season but we would like more, much more. We would like to beat our top season with 149 players from the 2017/18 Season. 

It’s not an easy task to pick three teams that could make you our 41^st  Champion, but that’s how football goes. As always it’s first come, first served so it’s important to get your teams in as quick as you can once the forms are out. 

How does the competition work? All you have to do is pick three football teams here in the UK from any English or Scottish leagues or you can mix up your choice from the two. Once you have picked your three teams and sent your entry form (Via email) with the entry fee, these teams will be unique to you as no-one else will have them three teams. These three teams could make you our 41^st Champion by scoring as many goals as they can.  Where do these goals come from? They will come from any league game, and from the two English and Scottish domestic cup competitions. 

We will have prize money throughout the season and if you have been following last season’s blog entries, then you will know what I mean.  Each week I will send you a News Sheet via email which will tell you where you are in our table and how your teams are doing. Once the entry date has passed, you will not be able to join in.

Even if you just look at the simple rules and decide not to join in, there will be no pressure to join Golden Goals. 

We have had over 65,300 hits on our blog and it would be really great that some of you could get together and represent your family or even better your country.
