Here we are with Week Nine of the competition and once again there was no Weekend Prize Money to be won this week, due to the International games being played over the week again. This means that we will be looking for our first Rollover of the season, which now stands at £18 for next weekend.
100 MIDWEEK GOALS JACKPOT
There were no midweek games, as once again, due to the International games. That means that the top five remains the same as last week’s News Sheet.

WEEKEND RESULTS
Not much has happen again over the weekend, although we had 14 of our teams in action this week. Out of our 14 teams, only two failed to score any goals. That means that most of us picked up yet another blank weekend score sheet. The highest score, over the weekend was 4 goals they came from the League Two where CHESTERFIELD won 4-2 at home.
Chesterfield became our 57th voted team back in the 1986/87 season where they finished the season on a total of 58 goals. Their highest score came in the 2000/01 season with 84 goals. Last season they finished with a total of 73 goals. This is their 9th season with Golden Goals and over that time they have netted a total of 566 goals. This now gives them an average score of 62 goals per season to date. This season they have picked up two blank score sheets which were their first tow games of the season. They are on a total of 15 goals and have extended their goal run to 8 games. Chesterfield have just one vote this time.
