Results (9th & 10th December)

Greetings amigos,

A week that saw some very low scoring in places provided an opportunity for managers to capitalise on their opponents' sub-par performances.  Mr O'Callghan (9) and Mr Luke (7) both did just that as I struggled with just 2 points this time around - Adam and Theo L leapfrogged myself in the overall standings into positions 3 and 4 respectively.  Mr Crinnion scored a very solid 8 points to gain ground on those above him, whilst Mr Moore will be very happy that his 5 point haul resulted in him extending his lead at the summit of the table, as Mr Raistrick scored 2 points.  To complete the picture, Mr Stewart-Jones scored 4 points and Mr McClay 2.

Any mistakes let me know - festive fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Matchday 4

Greetings amigos,

The latter half of the group stage has left very different stories across the qualification stage.  In Group A I defeated Theo W as a result of his no show, meaning that it's a straight shootout between Dave and myself for top spot as we're level on 6 points apiece in the standings.  Groups B and C could hardly be tighter, with just one point separating all three managers in each case.  In Group B Adam edged out Phil 8-7, whilst in Group C Ben and Theo L shared 16 points between them to leave everything to play for going into the final 2 matchdays of the qualification phase.

Any mistakes let me know.  Matchday 5 will take place on the weekend of 13th/14th January.

Take it easy,

Danny

Group A:  Danny  6 v 0  Theo W

Group B:  Phil  7 v 8  Adam

Group C:  Ben  8 v 8  Theo L

Results (2nd & 3rd December)

Greetings amigos,

A pretty consistent week of scoring means that things are broadly as they were in the overall standings.  A quintet of managers led the way, as Mr O'Callaghan, Mr Raistrick, Mr Stewart-Jones, Mr Luke and Mr Crinnion all scored 8 points apiece.  Current league leader Mr Moore was one off the weekly pace on 7 points, whilst I was a point further back on 6 and Mr McClay, hamstrung by missing a few of the games via a late submission, scored 3 points.

Any mistakes let me know - fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (25th & 26th November)

Greetings amigos,

League leader Mr Raistrick left the door ajar as he returned an uncharacteristically low return of just 3 points, which enabled Mr Moore to take full advantage as he added 9 to his tally to both leapfrog Ben into first place in the overall standings and secure his 24th MotM Award of his career to date into the bargain - congratulations amigo!  Elsewhere it was somewhat less memorable, as Mr McClay scored 7, Mr O'Callaghan and Stewart-Jones 6, Mr Luke 5, Mr Crinnion 4 and myself 3.
