A few killer scores this week caught many of us out, especially those of us who went for the "predictable" 1-0 Chelsea win at Spurs! Laura has held onto her lead for another week, but the hoards really are massing now, with just about everyone taking a chunk out of her lead (now down to 18). The top 6 remain unchanged but 4th placed Andy Leck really makes up some ground with his 190 pt haul. 5 of you managed 200+, and best of those was Hoops fan, Mark Edwards, who wins this week's £50 with a score of 228. Hard Luck to Cliff Dennis with 223. Don't forget to return Week 31 by Saturday. I'm off to the Bridge on Sunday. I can't predict that one, but I might have a bet on there being 22 bookings! As long as Ashley Cole gets laid out, I'll be happy! Happy Easter, Ciro. (Congratulations to Michael Rakison - my father - for coming in 4th this week. David Berlin, he's coming for you! David R)
Bonus Team: Chelsea, 3 mins v Spurs. Only 3 people picked up the 28 pts available. Well done to Gordon Dickson, Carol Kain & Amar Dhayakter. The 3 people who had Reading must have been cursing Didier Drobga last night, as he cost them 52 pts. 123 of you had Man Utd to score first at Derby.
Minileague Update: The table below is based on which leaders have the biggest lead. I think it's fair to say that Laura at HMV, Matt at Links Plus, James at BT, Matthew at Brooklands and Paul at Devonshires look done and dusted (prove me wrong by all means!). The other leads can all be retrieved, especially in the case of the PR & Marketing league where only 14 pts separate Richie and Yad (I amazed those PR & marketing people find the time to send their scores, I really am!)
