Results (21st & 22nd September)

Greetings amigos,

Mr Crinnion continued his stunning form with another huge haul in a weekend that saw some surprising results.  Nick amassed 3 spot-ons amongst 12 points to go 4 points clear of the monthly table and 6 ahead in the overall standings.  Mr Raistrick got his season into gear with an impressive 10 points, whilst Mr Luke and Mr Moore will also be happy with their 9 points apiece.  Mr Stewart-Jones maintained his steady form thus far with 8 points, and Mr O'Callaghan and Mr McClay were 1 point behind with 7 each.  Finally, it's back to the drawing board for Mr West (5) and myself (4) - we'll both be hoping for an upturn in fortunes after making slow starts to our respective campaigns.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Matchday 1

Greetings amigos,

It was a tale of away wins in Matchday 1 of The Soares Cup, as Nick picked up a convincing win in a high scoring affair against SJ (9-14) and Mad Dog edged Dave out by 1 point in a cagey 3-4 encounter.  My defence of the trophy got off to a poor start as Ben triumphed 7-9 in our match up.

Results and tables below - Matchday 2 will take place during the weekend of 5th October.

Results (14th & 15th September)

Greetings amigos,

Two experienced managers clearly used the international break to its full capacity, as Mr Luke and Mr Crinnion both came out of the traps at blistering pace.  Both managers demonstrated the kind of performance level that has delivered them titles previously, as they each notched 4 spot-ons amongst 14 point hauls to leap to the top of the monthly table and in Nick's case, to the top of the overall standings.  Elsewhere Mr Stewart-Jones and Mr Raistrick scored an impressive 9 points apiece, whilst the rest of us will be less satisfied with our returns: myself (7), Mr O'Callaghan (6), Theo W (5), Mr Moore (4) and Mr McClay (3).

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Results (31st August & 1st September)

Greetings amigos,

The Predictio world was left in shock when Mr O'Callaghan announced that he was missing the first 3 weeks of the season to go on his honeymoon.  The critics jumped on his flippancy in electing to go for blanket 1-0 home wins for the duration of his time out of the country.  Adam well and truly had the last laugh this week however, as his strategy notched him 4 spot-ons amongst 14 points and clinched him the August MotM Award, the 13th of his career, in the process - congratulations amigo!  Elsewhere Mr Stewart-Jones (9) and Mr Moore (6) just missed out on the monthly silverware, whilst Mr West (9) and Mr Crinnion (7) had very respectable weeks.  Finally, Mr Luke and myself scored 5 apiece, Mr Raistrick (3) and Mr McClay came back to Earth with a bump after leading the table last weekend as he scored just 1 point.

Any mistakes let me know.  Fixtures and The Soares Cup draw to follow.

Greetings amigos,

Last season was a tough one for Mr McClay.  2011-12 saw him clinch the Predictio League and Soares Cup double and as a result he was quite rightly on the front and back pages across the world and heralded for his efforts.  But then the wheels came off.  A bottom placed finish in the league and group stage exit in The Soares Cup had pundits and commentators questioning the Ulsterman's abilities - was he a spent force?

This week Dave gave an indication that he's back as he showed the kind of form that delivered the silverware 2 years ago - a 5 point spot-on (the first of the season) saw him top score with 10 points and go to the top of the league as a result.  Elsewhere it was a mixed bag: Mr O'Callaghan (8), Mr Moore and Mr Crinnion (7), Mr West (5), Mr Raistrick and myself (4) and finally Mr Luke and Mr Stewart-Jones (3).

Any mistakes let me know.  Fixtures to follow.

Greetings amigos,

The first day of the new season is always an exciting time for all managers.  Yes, the summer of pro-am golf days and pundit stints covering the various meaningless summer tournaments can bring relaxation, but it's the cut and thrust of predicting 10 scorelines each week that makes us all tick.

Mr Stewart-Jones certainly meets that description - as a founding member of the game of Predictio and a title winner in 2006-07, SJ has often bemoaned his sometimes lack lustre spot-on hauls as the culprit in explaining why he has not built on his success of 6 years ago.  Perhaps 2013-14 will buck this trend, as SJ sits on top of the first table of the season as he was the only manager to notch 2 spot-ons amongst a 10 point haul.  Standards elsewhere were pretty high, as all managers got their spot-on accounts up and running at the first attempt: Mr Moore (9), Mr Raistrick and myself (8), Mr Crinnion, Mr Luke and Mr West (7) and finally, Mr O'Callaghan and Mr McClay (6) can all be pretty satisfied with our respective starts.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
