Results (15th May)

Greetings amigos,

The weekend saw a fitting end to the season as Mr Stewart-Jones completed a thoroughly impressive campaign by scoring 13 points (including a pair of 5 pointers) to put the cherry on top of his campaign, and securing the final MotM Award of the season at Mr O'Callaghan's expense (Adam scored 6 points).  As such, SJ is confirmed as our champion for 2015-16, and lifts the second domestic title of his career, 9 years after his maiden championship win.  Many congratulations amigo - from one founder to another, you have delivered an exceptional performance this season as the 30 point gap to Mr Luke in second place proves - the second highest winning margin in Predictio history (the record being 54 points in 2009-10).  Elsewhere I scored 7 points, Mr Luke and Mr Raistrick 5 and Mr Crinnion 3.  Mr West, Mr Moore and Mr McClay elected to take a week off to prepare for Euro Predictio 2016, which kicks off in 3 weeks' time.

May I take this opportunity to thank all managers for your participation this season.

Any mistakes let me know - Euro 2016 fixtures to follow in the coming weeks.

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Final

Greetings amigos,

This weekend saw the final of The Soares Cup as SJ and Dave went head to head for the famous trophy.  Dave was looking to become the first manager to win the trophy for the second time, whilst SJ hoped to secure the first half of a likely double with the domestic title to follow next weekend.

In a very close encounter without a single spot-on it was SJ who triumphed 5-4 - congratulations amigo!  It promises to be a big week of celebration in Lichfield, and SJ will be confident that he can become the forth double winner in 5 seasons.  Commiserations to Mr McClay, hopefully some consolation can be taken from getting on the Roll of Honour for the first time since 2011-12.

Final:  SJ  5 v 4  Dave

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (7th & 8th May)

Greetings amigos,

It's do or die time for the chasing pack, but no one managed to produce the kind of week to have Mr Stewart-Jones worrying about his position at the top of the table.  Myself (7) and Mr Luke (6) both outscored Mr Stewart-Jones (5) but single figure scores are no good to either manager given SJ's commanding lead.  Elsewhere Mr Raistrick scored 6 points, Mr O'Callaghan 5, Mr McClay and Mr West 4 apiece and finally Mr Crinnion 2.  Mr Moore took a week off ahead of the upcoming Euro 2016 Predictio.  Adam has a 4 point lead going in the monthly race as he looks to secure his 3rd MotM Award of the season.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Results (30th April & 1st May)

Greetings amigos,

You know that the European Championships are approaching when Mr O'Callaghan starts turning in eye-catching performances.  Adam is the most successful manager in Euro Predictio having won one and finished runner-up in another; we're just 5 weeks from Euro 2016 and Adam produced a very impressive 14 point week to remind us all that he's the one to watch for the tournament.  Ad has taken a commanding lead in the early monthly table for May as a result.  With regards to the last MotM Award, an apology - I jumped the gun by handing out the April trophy to Mr Stewart-Jones last time around, given that Saturday's games fell on 30th April.  Looking at the results I pipped SJ to the monthly award having outscored him 8-3 on the final day of the month.  SJ - please do double check this, and apologies for the mistake!  It's the 25th monthly award of my career to date and the first silverware I've won since the 2013-14 season.  SJ can console himself with the fact that his lead at the top of the overall table shows no signs of being eroded any time soon - his 5 point haul this week matched Mr Luke's, and therefore he has a 23 point advantage going into the final 2 weekends of the season.  To complete the picture, Mr Raistrick scored 7 points, Mr Moore 5 points, and Mr Crinnion and Mr West 4 apiece.  Mr McClay took the option of having a rest ahead of The Soares Cup final that he'll contest with SJ this weekend.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
