LAST MATCH



We got back to winning ways with a win at Hull. We created chances again but were let down by finishing again, while Beadle made a couple of good saves at the other end. Then a miracle happened, we were actually awarded a penalty for the first time in 558 day. Thankfully Windass stepped up and fired it into the corner. Onto the 2nd half and Hull had a chance to level but Beadle saved again. We then made the game safe, Palmer got down the left, crossed deep to the far post, Musaba steered it back and Smith finished well.

THE MATCH



Next up and a short trip south to Derby. Derby have mad an Ok start to the season, currently in 15th place. and will probably have enough to stay away from a relegation fight. They are managed by Paul Warne, who has been in charge since September 2022 and got them promoted on the last day of last season. There leading scorer is Yates, who has 4 goals and 2 assists so far this season.

Following on from the fine example of last season's post, the Qualification Games for this event will be held at Dumfries Ice Bowl for Sunday 1 December to Saturday 7 December. These include England and Ireland as 2 of the 29 teams in the Championships.

Photo to follow
Ireland's double are Ailsa Barron and John Wilson, who have their first game in Group B on Monday 2 December at 12.30pm against Saudi Arabia.


England are in Group C and the usual duo of Lina Opel and Michael Opel will play their first game on Sunday 1 December at 7.30pm against Slovenia and their second on Monday 2 December at 4pm against Spain.

There seem to be a couple of people who seem to want CC to take the Leicester job.

Is this the majority?

My opinion. I can see why people may think to have a change, with the draws we have had. But we have a second team defence playing with all the injuries and CC has still managed to keep clean sheets.

He may be concentrating on our defence to the detriment of our attack. Plus our number one striker has been on the injured list most of CC’s reign.

But I believe he is the best manager we have had for many many years.

He knows how to set up a team, he makes subs when needed, and in my opinion has improved us every season he has been with us. Without any funds to spend. 

Personally, I want to keep him for years to come, enjoy the journey. Let’s not be like West Ham with moyes or Birmingham with Eustace, believing we have a right to cups and promotion. It will come with the right man and patience. I believe CC is the right man with our new owners.

I say be careful what you wish for.

Group A

Zinman 24
Themaclad 19
Minizin 16
Twerton 14
A.A.A. 10
Amelia 8

Well this week saw quite a bit of breaking records for the current season!! Most points scored on a Gamball game (39) with all bar one player getting the maximum, new weekly high score by a single player (24), new high of 16 correct scores in total, with 2 players getting a new record high of 4 each and it will be of no surprise that given all this the total score is a new season high of 91 points!!!!

For the 3rd time in 5 weeks Zinman recorded a personal high score for himself and this week he set a new bar for the season with 24 points. A spot on Gamball was backed up with 3 other CSs, if only he didn't have the negative on the Bonus he would have scored 30 points!!! Themaclad is 2nd with 19 points, another CS on the Gamball for him (that's three this season for him) and like Zinman 3 other CSs to boot. Minizin is 3rd with 16 points, like the top 2 he had a CS on the Gamball but "only" backed that up with 2 other CSs!!

Twerton is 4th with 14 points, CS on the Gamball, 2 other CSs but not much else saw his score stunted. AAA is 5th with 10 points, while the CS on the Gamball was a good start, he added little else to his scoring. Amelia is last with 8 points, she was the lone player not to score a maximum on the Gamball but ironically was the only player to score positive points on the Bonus, and thankfully for her it was of course a maximum!!!

138 Themaclad
103 Twerton
101 Minzin
101 Zinman
87 Amelia
78 A.A.A.

Only one positional change in the table with Zinman's excellent week moving him back above Amelia, but this is significant as it moves him level with Minizin and the pair of them are now only 2 points behind Twerton!! Themaclad of course sees his consistency stretch his lead again and it now stands at 35 points!! Amelia and AAA are not out of it yet but they need to find some consistent form.

Cheers
SCO


Group B

SCO 13
Derby 7
BBB 7
Stairs 7
Snooty 5
Lady Jane 4
BaggieOne 3

A below average week for Group B, not helped by a complete wipe out on the Gamball. There were also just 2 positive bonus balls but at least scoreballs were more common, with only Lady Jane missing out. in addition to the gamball match, 2 other games, at Coventry and Albion, produced negative scores. This week saw the highest ratio of correct scores to correct results at 50%.

One stand out performance this week from SCO, the only player to achieve double figures from his 4 correct predictions. These included his bonus and 2 correct scores to give him a 6 point advantage over the pack. Three players were together on 7 points, Derby and BBB both getting 2 correct scores from their 3 correct predictions, none of them their bonuses, while Stairs scored on just 2 games, one a maximum, and was the other player to get his bonus right.

Snooty managed to get 100% of his correct predictions spot on, unfortunately there were only 2 of them while Lady Jane had an unusually por week scoring just 4 points and missing out on all the balls. BaggieOne was the only player not to get a correct score and sits at the foot of this week's table.

145 Lady Jane
111 Derby
95 SCO
88 BBB
85 Stairs
81 Snooty
76 BaggieOne

No changes whatsoever in the overall table this week. Lady Jane and Derby are still setting the pace though, with his 2nd consecutive weekly top spot, SCO is beginning to close the gap. Still very close for the rest of the table though BaggieOne is in danger of drifting away at the foot of the table.

LAST MATCH



Once again this season, our finishing lets us down as we drew with Cardiff. We nearly got off to the perfect start, Ugbo scoring only to be denied by the offside flag, then Windass Lobed just over. Cardiff then punished us as O'Dowda got down the left and whose shot was saved by Beadle but the rebound was put in by Tanner. We responded very quickly, Windass down the right and crossed for Bernard to score from close range. Onto the 2nd half and we had some chances particularly near the end of the game but poor finishing let us down again.

THE MATCH



Next up and the short journey to Hull. Hull are struggling this season and currently lie in 22nd place and are 8 games without a win (good time to be playing us then ). They will probably end up being in the relegation dogfight and only time will tell if they are good enough to stay up. They are currently managed by Tim Walter, a German, who has been in charge since the summer. There leading scorer is Kasey Palmer with 3
