The Soares Cup: Matchday 4

Greetings amigos,

The business end of the group stage is full flight, with two of the three groups taking serious shape ahead of the knockout phase. The one exception is Group A, where the Theo derby saw an enthralling 4-4 draw, meaning that qualification is anyone's as we enter the last 2 rounds of group fixtures. Groups B and C look significantly more sewn up, as Adam defeated myself 7-4 to maintain his 100% record  and guarantee his place in the semi-finals, whilst SJ played out the same scenario as he notched his third win of the tournament by defeating Dave 5-0.

Any mistakes let me know, Matchday 5 will take place during the weekend of 3rd & 4th January.

Take it easy,

Danny

Group A: Theo L  4 v 4  Theo W

Group B:  Adam  7 v 4  Danny

Group C:  Dave  0 v 5  SJ

Results (29th-30th November & 6th-7th December)

Greetings amigos,

With the often season-defining festive fixture list just around the corner, it is somewhat premature to start etching the name of a manager into the silver of the hallowed Predictio title trophy, however, Mr Stewart-Jones' continued good form makes such an idea appear less problematic with each passing week. Over the last fortnight SJ added another 14 points to his tally, more than enough to secure the November MotM Award (the 30th of his career to date - congratulations amigo!) and open up a commanding 17 point lead in the overall standings. The Midlander's hopes of winning his 6th domestic title should be bolstered by the fact that no one in the chasing pack appears capable of providing a sustained challenge. This time around Mr Moore and Mr O'Callaghan took on the mantle with respective 15 point hauls, leapfrogging the previous nearest challengers - Theo W (10), Mr Raistrick (9) and myself (8). To complete the picture, Mr Luke scored 10, Mr Crinnion 8 and Mr McClay didn't trouble the scorers.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (22nd & 23rd November)

Greetings amigos,

A week that saw pretty consistent scoring has left the league table pretty much as it was, however Mr West continued his efficient ascent up the standings as he top scored with 10 points, clawing back some ground on the top two in the process who both struggled by their lofty standards - Mr Moore scoring 6 and Mr Stewart-Jones 5. Elsewhere Mr Raistrick will be rightly happy with his 9 point haul, whilst Mr Crinnion was a point behind on 8. To complete the picture, I scored 7, Mr Luke 5 and Mr O'Callaghan 4. Mr McClay's November break from predictions continued.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

The Soares Cup: Matchday 3

Greetings amigos,

The halfway stage of the group phase sees things starting to take shape in terms of who is likely to progress to the latter stages of the competition, and who might be able to focus solely on their league campaigns come the spring. Group A saw Phil comfortably dispense with Theo L 13-5, which leaves things very tight in the standings with Theo W currently top of the pile by a single point. Adam looks to have one foot in the semi-finals as he maintained his 100% record in the tournament via an 8-5 victory over Ben, whilst in Group C we saw one of the lowest scoring encounters in Soares Cup history where Nick defeated Dave 2-0 to register his first win.

Any mistakes let me know, Matchday 4 will take place during the weekend of 6th & 7th December.

Take it easy,

Danny

Group A: Theo L  5 v 13  Phil

Group B:  Adam  8 v 5  Ben

Group C:  Dave  0 v 2  Nick

Results (25-26 October & 1-2 November)

Greetings amigos,

5 time title winner Mr Stewart-Jones has made his move on the 2025-26 title race, with a hugely impressive run of form that sees him sitting at the top of any league you care to put him in. SJ scored a very solid 10 points in the final gameweek of October (sufficient to secure the October MotM Award, the 29th of his career to date - congratulations amigo!) but then went again last weekend as he added a further 13 points to his tally to take a commanding 10 point lead at the top of the table. The Midlander already has 15 spot-ons on the board, 6 more than his closest competitor in that regard, and on form like this he'll take some stopping this season. Mr Moore is determined to do so, and his 20 points over the last fortnight keeps him well and truly in the hunt. Elsewhere it was a mixed bag: I scored 16 points, Mr O'Callaghan 15, Mr West and Mr Raistrick 12 apiece, Mr Luke 8, Mr McClay 7 (unfortunately not submitting predictions for last weekend) and Mr Crinnion 6.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (18th & 19th October)

Greetings amigos,

The impressive form of the chasing pack juxtaposed with a drop in performance of our early leaders continued this week, resulting in places shifting around in the overall standings. Five-time domestic champion Mr Stewart-Jones is our new leader, as he scored 8 points to maintain his momentum of late, however, the top scorers of the weekend were Mr O'Callaghan and Mr West, who scored 10 points apiece and find themselves in 3rd and 4th place respectively as a result. Mr Luke (4) and Mr Moore (3) will be hoping that they can rediscover their early season form quickly to avoid wasting their fast starts. To complete the picture, I scored 6, Mr Raistrick and Mr Crinnion 5, and Mr McClay 3.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
