Results (25th & 26th April)

Greetings amigos,

Predictio champions will often look to moments in title winning seasons when they notched a crucial spot-on to build or maintain momentum. Mr Stewart-Jones may regard the 3 points he took from the final encounter of the gameweek in that category, as it made up half of his weekly tally and kept the majority of his advantage at the top of the table intact. The gap to Mr O'Callaghan (who scored 7) and Mr Moore (8) now stands at 4 points, and we look to have a humdinger of a title race on our hands. Away from the title race, Mr Raistrick scored 7 points to secure the MotM Award, his first of the season and the 24th of his career to date - congratulations amigo! To complete the picture, I scored 8, Mr Luke 3 and Mr Crinnion 0 (from a reduced fixture list).

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Semi-Final 2nd Leg

Greetings amigos,

The second legs of the semi-final stage produced encounters of distinctly differing levels of tension, with a walkover in one and a tense finale in the other.

The walkover came for SJ, who defeated Theo W 7-0 to complete a 12-0 aggregate victory and take his place in his sixth Soares Cup final; he will be hoping he can continue his free-scoring form on his way to lifting his third Soares Cup.

The second semi-final produced an enthralling encounter, as Adam fought to overcome a 5 point deficit from his first leg against Nick. Adam won the battle but not the war - his 9-6 victory fell short ultimately, with Nick winning 16-14 on aggregate. The Soares Cup has been a source of significant success for Crinnion - he has lifted the trophy a record 3 times in his career to date and, like SJ, this will be his sixth appearance in the final.

SF1: SJ  (12) 7 v 0 (0)  Theo W
SF2: Nick  (16) 6 v 9 (14)  Adam

The final will take place during the weekend of 1-3 May - good luck to both managers.

Take it easy,

Danny 

Results (10th-13th & 18th-20th April)

Greetings amigos,

A marathon, not a sprint - a cliché as old as the hills (itself a cliché). Also a fitting summary of the race for domestic glory in Predictio this season. Mr Stewart-Jones looked to have everything wrapped up as we entered the business end of proceedings, but in recent weeks the chasing pack - principally Mr O'Callaghan and Mr Moore - have gained ground, bit by bit, point by point. The last fortnight continued that trend with our league leader adding 9 points to his tally, whilst Adam and Phil both notched 13 points apiece. SJ's lead is still handy at 5 points, and all managers would switch places with him in a heartbeat, but the challenge for our 5-time title winner is handling the pressure down the stretch having enjoyed a 25 point lead earlier in the season. Mr Raistrick gave a reminder of his capabilities by top scoring with 16 points, whilst I scored 12, Mr Crinnion 10 and Mr Luke 9. Mr West and Mr McClay have departed for their summer holidays.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures sent earlier this week.

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Semi-Final 1st Leg

Greetings amigos,

Two managers will be clearing their diaries in anticipation of a May showpiece final, as the first legs produced a pair of convincing victories. In the first semi-final, SJ defeated a no-show Theo W 5-0 to open up a commanding lead, whilst in the other game Nick triumphed over Adam 10-5 to put one foot in the final.

SF1: SJ  5 v 0  Theo W
SF2: Nick 10 v 5  Adam

The second legs will be played during the weekend of 11-12 April.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (14-15 & 21-22 March)

Greetings amigos,

Mr Crinnion's hopes of glory this season are firmly pinned on The Soares Cup, however, he demonstrated his domestic capabilities by leading the scoring over the last fortnight; Nick added 14 points to his score and will hope he can take that sort of form into the home straight of his season, which could end in major silverware. I was next in line with 12 points, which was sufficient to secure the monthly silverware, my first of the season and 40th of my career. Mr Moore (11) and Mr O'Callaghan (8) again took steps towards reigning in Mr Stewart-Jones' lead at the top of the table, as our league leader added 6 points to his total. SJ's lead is now down to 9 points, and, whilst it's still a handy margin, he will no doubt be mindful that his advantage was almost 3 times the size back in January. To complete the picture, Mr Raistrick scored 5 points and Mr Luke amassed 2; no predictions from Mr West and Mr McClay.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
