Results (11th & 12th February)

Greetings amigos,

One of the highest scoring weeks for some time has produced one of the most wide open monthly tables of the season.  Mr Luke leads the way in February after he top scored this time around with a mightily impressive 13 points.  Theo has a handy looking 3 point lead ahead of a group of four managers in the monthly race: Mr O'Callaghan and Mr West (both 12), Mr Stewart-Jones (10) and Mr Moore (9).  Elsewhere I matched Phil's total of 9 points, Mr Crinnion scored 6 and Mr Raistrick scored 5.  The overall table is largely unchanged, with SJ retaining his title looking increasingly likely with every passing week - he currently has a very commanding 21 point lead over myself in second place.

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

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Matchday 6

Greetings amigos,

The final round of the group stage saw some very close encounters, and we now know the qualifiers for the knockout phase.  Group A saw Adam secure the victory he needed to amass the points required to qualify as best runner-up with 7 points - Dave made things a fairly easy for him, admittedly, but nevertheless Adam takes his place in the semi-finals with a 4-0 win.  In Group B SJ and Theo L shared 12 points between them in a 6-6 draw, which was enough for SJ to leapfrog myself into first place and win the group.  Finally in Group C, Nick and Phil played out a highly entertaining 15 point encounter, which Nick edged 7-8.  Nick completes the group stage with a perfect record and on current form is surely the man to beat.

Any mistakes let me know, semi-final draw to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Group A:  Dave  0 v 4  Adam

Group B:  SJ  6 v 6  Theo L

Group C:  Phil  7 v 8  Nick

Results (4th & 5th February)

Greetings amigos,

A week that saw some high scoring encounters produced a low scoring affair in Predictio with spot-ons at a premium.  In fact, had Mr Crinnion not managed to notch a particularly champagne 5 pointer from correctly predicting the 1-3 scoreline at St Mary's, it would have been the first week without a single spot-on for many a month.  Nick top scored with 8 points to take the early lead in the monthly race, whilst Mr Moore was 1 point behind on 7.  Elsewhere Mr Stewart-Jones, Mr Luke and myself all scored 6 apiece, Mr Raistrick scored 5 and Mr O'Callaghan and Mr West 4 each.  Mr McClay's absence continues.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
