The Soares Cup: Matchday 4

Greetings amigos,

The business end of the group stage is full flight, with two of the three groups taking serious shape ahead of the knockout phase. The one exception is Group A, where the Theo derby saw an enthralling 4-4 draw, meaning that qualification is anyone's as we enter the last 2 rounds of group fixtures. Groups B and C look significantly more sewn up, as Adam defeated myself 7-4 to maintain his 100% record  and guarantee his place in the semi-finals, whilst SJ played out the same scenario as he notched his third win of the tournament by defeating Dave 5-0.

Any mistakes let me know, Matchday 5 will take place during the weekend of 3rd & 4th January.

Take it easy,

Danny



Group A: Theo L  4 v 4  Theo W
Group B:  Adam  7 v 4  Danny

Group C:  Dave  0 v 5  SJ

Results (29th-30th November & 6th-7th December)

Greetings amigos,

With the often season-defining festive fixture list just around the corner, it is somewhat premature to start etching the name of a manager into the silver of the hallowed Predictio title trophy, however, Mr Stewart-Jones' continued good form makes such an idea appear less problematic with each passing week. Over the last fortnight SJ added another 14 points to his tally, more than enough to secure the November MotM Award (the 30th of his career to date - congratulations amigo!) and open up a commanding 17 point lead in the overall standings. The Midlander's hopes of winning his 6th domestic title should be bolstered by the fact that no one in the chasing pack appears capable of providing a sustained challenge. This time around Mr Moore and Mr O'Callaghan took on the mantle with respective 15 point hauls, leapfrogging the previous nearest challengers - Theo W (10), Mr Raistrick (9) and myself (8). To complete the picture, Mr Luke scored 10, Mr Crinnion 8 and Mr McClay didn't trouble the scorers.

Any mistakes let me know, fixtures to follow.

Take it easy,

Danny
