Winner Winner, Turkey Dinner

1st Half over and some drama to end 2012! Having been pretty confident of nabbing a few quid out of the pot myself, the spoils ended up being shared between Ashley and Dave.

Ashley maintained his solid form with a tidy Spurs away victory, while Dave shot up the table when rock bottom Hartlepool ran out 10/1 winners against the league leaders to claim £25 for 2nd place.

January 1st sees a full fixture list and the 2nd Half of the competition starts there with Week 22, followed swiftly by Week 23 on the weekend.  Plenty of chance for those lagging behind to make a fresh start of it and compete for the 2nd Half prize money even if the overall prizes look a bit distant with a £20 deficit to make up.

Good luck!

To The Wire

So after the traditional Christmas double header there has been a bit of a scuffle at the top of the table with both Ashley and I sharing big priced winners for hat-tricks of wins worth £12.03 and £15.50 respectively, catapulting us up top with less than a quid between us going to the final batch of matches.

It looks like a two horse race to decide how the first £65 of 2012/13 prize money is going to be shared, but I'm sure there are one or two in behind us thinking about trying to pull off a double figure odds miracle to cause an upset.

Good luck!

P.S If anyone I haven't contacted yet fancies joining the 2013 Death Pool then give me a shout.

Waiting for Christmas

Has anyone missed me?

As I'm sure you have noticed the Footy Naps results have continued ticking over this season, but without the accompanying rambling from me. Since switching to Google Docs it hardly seemed worth it as it's now so easy to check the table, and no bugger seemed to read this anyway!

Typically one week wonder Ian Dell was straight in touch this week looking to find out when the 1st Half competition ends. You're not going to win Ian, but for reference it is Week 21.  The final weeks of this part of the competition are as follows:

• Week 17 - Dec 8th/9th/10th
• Week 18 - Dec 15th/16th/17th
• Week 19 - Dec 22nd/23rd
• Week 20 - Dec 26th
• Week 21 - Dec 29th/30th

Best of luck getting that win % into double figures Jon, and best of luck to the Grants in trying to overcome the early Reeve lead.
