Results (23rd & 24th April)

Greetings amigos,

A week that saw the combination of a reduced fixture list and high scoring encounters was always going to lead to some low tallies.  In fact, there was not a single spot-on this week, which is music to the ears of Mr Stewart-Jones at the top of both tables.  SJ's 4 points was sufficient to protect his lead at the top of the overall table and clinch the April MotM Award to boot - the 9th of his career to date - congratulations amigo!  Mr Luke, Mr Raistrick, Mr West and myself all matched SJ's score, whilst Mr O'Callaghan and Mr Moore were one behind on 3 points and finally Mr Crinnion scored 1 point.  Mr McClay failed to submit predictions.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (16th & 17th April)

Greetings amigos,

This week saw Mr Luke gain back some ground on Mr Stewart-Jones at the top of the table, but not enough to have SJ's backroom staff tripping over themselves to remove the champagne placed on ice in his office; 2 points were clawed back as Lucozade outscored our current leader 9 to 7, but the 23 point gap looks too big to close with just 4 gameweeks of the season to go.  Elsewhere I top scored for the first time in living memory with 11 points, Mr O'Callaghan, Mr Raistrick and Mr West scored 7 apiece, Mr Moore 5 and finally Mr Crinnion and Mr McClay 4 each.  The penultimate MotM Award is seemingly a four horse race, with 4 points separating the runners.

Results (9th & 10th April)

Greetings amigos,

The prospect of a major final next month has clearly rejuvenated Mr McClay, as he top scored this week with a very impressive 13 points (including 3 spot-ons) to jump to the top of the monthly table.  Mr Luke's title challenge is still alive after he scored a solid 11 points, however, Mr Stewart-Jones' continued good form ensured that his lead was only eroded by a solitary point, as he was one behind on 10 points.  Elsewhere Mr O'Callaghan and myself both scored 8 points, Mr Raistrick 7, Mr Crinnion 4 and finally Mr West 2.  Mr Moore, struggling to overcome the disappointment of his defeat in the semi-final of The Soares Cup, failed to submit predictions.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures to follow.

The Soares Cup: Semi-Final 2nd Leg

Greetings amigos,

The second legs produced two resounding wins, with the victors progressing to the final in each case.  In the first semi-final Dave beat Phil 12-5 to overturn the 3 point deficit from the first leg, whilst in the second semi-final SJ hammered Theo L 13-2 to win 21-7 on aggregate in a result that could have a psychological impact on the domestic title race as well as knocking Mr Luke out of the competition.

So, we have our final:  Dave v SJ, to take place on the weekend of 7th and 8th May.

Dave will be looking to win his second Soares Cup (and become the first manager to do so) whilst SJ will be hoping that his first final appearance in the competition proves to be a happy one.  There could also be a league and cup double in store for SJ, a feat that remarkably has been achieved in 3 of the 4 seasons since the introduction of The Soares Cup.

Take it easy,

Danny

SF1:  Phil  (6)  5 v 12  (3)  Dave   -   Dave wins 15-11 on aggregate

SF2:  SJ  (8)  13 v 2  (5)  Theo L   -   SJ wins 21-7 on aggregate

Results (3rd & 4th April)

Greetings amigos,

The grasp that Mr Stewart-Jones had on the 2015-16 Predictio title trophy got significantly tighter last weekend as his fantastic 13 point haul outscored his nearest challenger - Mr Luke - by 11 points to open up a commanding 26 point lead at the top of the table.  It is surely now SJ's title to lose.  Elsewhere it was a mixed bag of results; some managers can be very happy with their work, with Mr McClay scoring a very impressive 12 points, Mr O'Callaghan one behind on 11 whilst Mr Crinnion (9) and Mr Raistrick (8) also produced solid totals.  To complete the picture the rest of us had less memorable weeks as I scored 7, Mr Moore 5 and finally Mr West 3.

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

Take it easy,

Danny
