Results (17th & 18th February)

Greetings amigos,

The path towards Mr Raistrick's fourth domestic title and his second in three years looks ever more straightforward, as Ben's solid form continued this week whilst the chasing pack failed to deliver the kind of eye-catching performance that's required to catch up with our pacesetter.  Jamine scored 8 points to outscore his nearest rival Mr Moore (5) and has created an 18 point cushion for himself at the top of the overall standings.  Turning to the somewhat distant chasing pack, I top scored with 10 points, Mr Stewart-Jones and Mr Crinnion scored 7, Mr Luke 6 and Mr O'Callaghan 5.  Mr McClay did not submit predictions, potentially hampered by my tardiness in sending out the fixtures (apologies if so!).

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

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Matchday 6

Greetings amigos,

The final round of fixtures in the group stage produced a thrilling finale as managers threw everything at securing a semi-final place.  In Group A Dave secured the point he needed to top the group, finishing unbeaten on 8 points; controversy engulfed the tie however, as the 5-5 draw played out was also sufficient for me to qualify as best runner-up.  In Group B Nick defeated Phil 7-3, a result that suited Adam as it meant he remained in top spot and as such progresses to the knockout phase.  Finally in Group C the decider between SJ and Ben resulted in a resounding 8-14 win for our current league leader, Jamine - he qualifies for the semi-finals at SJ's expense.

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

Take it easy,

Danny

Group A:  Danny  5 v 5  Dave

Group B:  Nick  7 v 3  Phil

Group C:  SJ  8 v 14  Ben

Results (3rd & 4th February)

Greetings amigos,

There are moments in a Predictio season when a manager delivers a statement performance at the perfect time.  Last weekend may have seen one of those moments as Mr Raistrick scored a massively impressive 14 points, whilst his nearest challenger, Mr Moore, scored 3 points.  Jamine has opened up a 15 point lead at the top of the table to firmly install himself as the favourite to win the domestic title.  Elsewhere Mr Stewart-Jones' consistent form of late continued as he scored 8 points to rise to third in the overall standings, whilst Mr Crinnion was 1 point back on 7.  To complete the picture, Mr McClay and myself scored 5 apiece, Mr O'Callaghan 4 and Mr Luke 2.

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

Take it easy,

Danny
