Results (19th May)

Greetings amigos,

An enthralling title race that saw Mr Raistrick and Mr Moore exchange places several times over the second half of the season came to its climax over the weekend with the final round of fixtures in Predictio XX. On this occasion there was not to be one final twist, as Mr Raistrick outscored Mr Moore by 8 points to 7 to secure the title by a 6 point margin and with it a domestic double - may I be the first to offer my congratulations on a fine performance! Ben achieves the second double of his career to date (adding to his first back in 2014-15) and joins Mr Stewart-Jones in the double-double club (SJ's coming last season and in 2015-16). Additionally, but of somewhat lower significance, Jamine also won the May MotM Award, the 23rd of his career to date and the 4th this season (underlining his consistently high level of performance). Commiserations to Mr Moore who didn't see the flurry of 3-1s required to leapfrog into top spot. To complete the picture, Mr O'Callaghan scored 11 points, Mr Stewart-Jones 10, Mr Crinnion and myself 8 and finally Mr Luke 7.

Thank you to all managers for taking part this season. Any mistakes let me know, fixtures for Euro Predictio 2024 to follow in a couple of weeks' time!

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (11th & 12th May)

Greetings amigos,

Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Mr Raistrick produced a stunning performance in the penultimate gameweek of the season to produce yet another twist in an enthralling title race between himself and Mr Moore. Jamine outscored MD by 17 points to 8, leap-frogging Phil in the process and opening up a 5 point lead at the top of the table going into the final set of fixtures this weekend. Can Mr Moore dig deep one final time and deny Ben a second domestic double? Time will tell. Elsewhere Mr Luke scored 9, I scored 8, Mr O'Callaghan 7, and Mr Stewart-Jones and Mr Crinnion scored 5 apiece.

Any mistakes let me know, final set of fixtures of the domestic season to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny

The Soares Cup: Final

Greetings amigos,

Mr Raistrick and myself contested the 13th final of The Soares Cup, each of us looking for our second triumph after both finishing in the runner-up spot in recent years. It was Ben who emerged victorious, with a very convincing 12-6 victory - may I be the first to congratulate Mr Raistrick on his victory!  I will no doubt have questions to answer after I failed to submit a prediction for the Friday night game, and in truth the writing was on the wall once Jamine had secured a 5 pointer from the Saturday games opening up a lead that I never really looked like clawing back.  A summer of soul-searching after suffering my third final defeat (and second on the trot) in the competition awaits. For Ben, he'll be harbouring hopes of completing a domestic double in the closing stages of the season.

FINAL:  Ben  12 v 6  Danny

Take it easy,

Danny

Results (27-28 April & 4-6 May)

Greetings amigos,

Mr Raistrick breathed new life into the title race with a very solid 17 point haul over the last fortnight to claw back 5 points against Mr Moore, who scored 12 over the same period. MD's lead is now down to just 4 points as we enter into the last two gameweeks of the season - it promises to be a nailbiter! Phil can take satisfaction from his performance last month being sufficient to secure the MotM Award for April, his 3rd of the season and 25th of his career to date - congratulations amigo! Elsewhere Mr Crinnion produced an outstanding performance, as he comfortably outscored everyone with a massive 26 points over the last 2 rounds, including a particularly champagne 5 pointer from the 2-3 scoreline in the North London derby. To complete the picture, Mr Stewart-Jones scored 17, I scored 15, Mr Luke scored 13 and Mr O'Callaghan scored 10.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
