The Soares Cup: Matchday 4 Results

Greetings amigos,

The tables are really starting to take shape now as we're into the second half of the group stage.  In Group A Phil took a giant stride towards qualification with a resounding 11-5 win over Ben, who's looking as though he'll fall at the first hurdle with a huge win in his last game his only route to qualification.  In Group B Theo W has taken control of the group with his 8-4 win over Adam.  Finally, in Group C Nick secured the win he needed to breathe life into his campaign as he defeated myself 7-6, a result that will suit SJ as he leads the group by 3 points with a game in hand.

Any mistakes let me know - Matchday 5 will take place during the weekend of 2nd January.

Take it easy,

Danny

Group A:  Ben  5 v 11  Phil

Group B:  Theo W  8 v 4  Adam

Group C:  Nick  7 v 6  Danny

Results (5th & 6th December)

Greetings amigos,

Mr Moore hasn't managed to hit the kind of form that saw him win the 2005-06 title so far this season, but this weekend will certainly remind the Predictio community of his qualities as a top manager.  MD amassed an impressive 11 points in a weekend when most managers struggled to take a healthy early lead in the monthly race.  Mr West scored 8 points to increase his lead at the top of the overall table to 9 points, as those immediately below him, Mr Stewart-Jones (5) and Mr Luke (4) failed to match his pace.  Elsewhere Mr Crinnion scored 7 points, I scored 6, Mr Raistrick 5, Mr O'Callaghan 4 and Mr McClay 3.

Results (28th & 29th November)

Greetings amigos,

Mr O'Callaghan has routinely demonstrated his class on the international stage (particularly in the Euro Championships), but apart from his runner-up finish in the 2007-08 season, he's had to make do with mid-table finishes for the most part.  That all might be about to change as Adam secured his second consecutive manager of the month award by outscoring Mr Stewart-Jones by 8 points to 6, landing the 17th monthly award of his career to date - congratulations amigo!  SJ will be scratching his head as to how he didn't win the monthly award after a great start, however, he can console himself with the fact that he closed the gap to Mr West in the table, as our leader notched 4 points this time around.  Elsewhere Mr Luke and Mr McClay scored 7 apiece, I scored 6, Mr Moore and Mr Crinnion scored 4 and Mr Raistrick scored 2.

Results (21st & 22nd November)

Greetings amigos,

Mr West demonstrated why he's the bookies' favourite to win the 2015-16 Predictio title, as he convincingly outscored the chasing pack with a 9 point haul including 2 spot-ons in what was a very low scoring week elsewhere - he also restored breathing space (8 points' worth) at the top of the table in the process, as those immediately below him all struggled.  Five managers ended the weekend on 4 points: Mr Luke, Mr Crinnion, Mr Moore, Mr McClay and Mr Raistrick.  A couple of managers will be marginally happier with their efforts - Mr O'Callaghan and myself scored 6 apiece - whilst Mr Stewart-Jones will be hoping for more than 3 points next time around.  The monthly race is wide open, with 6 points separating top from bottom.

Results (7th & 8th November)

Greetings amigos,

After finishing in the runner-up spot last season, Mr Stewart-Jones will be hoping that he can go one better this time around - a hope that is likely to become reality if he can maintain his recent form.  SJ top scored with 11 points to jump to the top of the monthly race and to second place in the overall table - he's just 2 points behind our leader, Mr West, who struggled somewhat in amassing 6 points.  Elsewhere Mr Luke and Mr Raistrick scored 9 apiece, Mr O'Callaghan 8, Mr McClay and myself 7, and Mr Crinnion and Mr Moore 6.

The Soares Cup: Matchday 3 Results

Greetings amigos,

We've reached the halfway stage of the group phase and the tables are starting to take shape.  SJ can be happiest with life at this point, as his 100% record means that he can consider one of his feet in the knockout stage.  The leaders in the other 2 groups have more slender advantages, but the two Theos will definitely be happy with their work up to this point.  Ben and Nick are the only managers yet to have registered a win in the competition, and as such they'll be hoping for an improvement in Matchday 4 in a couple of weeks' time.

Any mistakes let me know - Matchday 4 will take place during the weekend of 5th December.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (31st October & 1st November)

Greetings amigos,

Mr McClay's season clicked into gear this week as he top scored with 10 points, including a particularly eye catching 5 pointer from Leicester's 3-2 win at The Hawthorns - the winner of a famous double in 2011-12 has shown that he can reproduce his form of old, time will tell if he can maintain it over an extended period.  Elsewhere Mr O'Callaghan did enough to hold onto his lead at the top of the October MotM race, securing the 16th monthly silverware of his career to date - congratulations amigo!  Adam scored 3 of his 8 points on Saturday (the 31st) which just kept Mr West and Mr Luke (who both scored 3 of their respective 6 points on the last day of the month) at bay.  Elsewhere Mr Crinnion scored 9 points, Mr Stewart-Jones 8, Mr Moore and myself 7 and finally Mr Raistrick 5.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
