Hallelujah!!!
No, not the away point . . . I’m talking about
the 1-1 proper football score!!! You know, the
one where we don’t concede bucket-loads of goals
after going 1-0 up.
And bucket-loads of points is what our managers
scored in the Come On Darlo Prediction League.
Because before the season started I’m sure we
were all realistic (except Lance and Malcolm) on
how few goals Darlo would score; what we didn’t
do was look at the other side of the coin and
see how many goals they would concede.
So, with this in mind, the Bury game WAS a
proper football score! Such a shame then that
the league’s Top Guns were Goosed and couldn’t
Cruise to even three points between the first
six!!! So that elusive 100-mark has still to be
breached, with Carl Hankin closest on 96, Andrew
Hodgson with 94, David Taylor on 92 and Tony
Taylor hitting 90 points.
Susan Weston is gunning for these Mavericks and
has flown her way to 80 points in seventh place.
Paul Soderman is starting to show some form now,
along with Kevin Kidger, both now on 70 points
in 17th place. John Young scored a double with
his teams (are you watching this Malcolm?)
moving them both to relative “safety” (another
word for obscurity, really). Chris Vallis has
jumped to first-page league glory (another
phrase for “slightly above average”) while Steve
McGarvie has JUST escaped last-column league
shame in 132nd spot.
Other fighter aces are: Alan Mooney, Dan Duryea,
Emma Davis, Hannah Taylor, Jayne Hathaway, Lynne
Pape, Malcolm Cundick, Martyn Cripps, Michael
Hunt, Nick Walters, Paul Johnson, Peter Ashmore,
Richard Collin, Sam Taylor, The Duke and Toby
Corum.
Meanwhile, at the Fairy Swordfish School of
Flying, Malcolm Cundick’s third XI scored a
MAGNIFICENT eight points to move them from the
bottom of the league, to be replaced by . . .
Malcolm Cundick’s second XI!!! To be fair, he
has company in the shape of Lee Dyas, Lance
Ireland, Richard Collin and Raymond Percival –
all with 20 points. Peter White and Sarah Bell
are showing for the first time this season . . .
just the wrong end of the table, that’s all.
