Greetings amigos,

A week that saw a few surprising results (not least of which a game being called off in August!) led to a fairly low scoring affair, with a total of just 4 spot-ons and 46 points between us.  Mr Stewart-Jones any myself led the way as we scored 8 points apiece and as a result we sit at the top of the very early table.  Mr Moore was next in line as he notched 6 points, followed by Mr Luke and Mr Crinnion who both added 5 to their respective tallies.  Mr O'Callaghan and Mr McClay both scored 4, whilst Mr Raistrick and Mr West managed only 3 points this time around.  Next week will see the excitement of the beginning of the group stage of The Soares Cup - details to follow.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (18th & 19th August)

Greetings amigos,

At 3pm on Saturday 9 managers stepped into the arena for the 9th installment of Predictio, all buoyed by the hopes and dreams of what the next 9 months may bring.  A week into the new season and the table already has a familiar look about it, as Mr McClay continued his title winning form by securing 9 points to take the early lead.  The Ulsterman's tally was matched by Mr West, who is embarking upon his first full season in management and will be hoping that he can catch the old guard unawares with his title challenging form.  I kicked off my campaign with a 7 point haul, followed by Mr Raistrick and Mr Stewart-Jones (runner-up last time around) with 6 apiece, Mr O'Callaghan, Mr Moore and Mr Luke all scored 5 points, whilst Mr Crinnion indicated that he may continue his yo-yo pattern of performance, as he scored only 3 points to prop up the table after finishing 3rd last season.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
