ShotsWeb Challenge – Oops! It finished!
Oh dear – just realised I never updated this page with the final results. Never mind! 
Congratulations to Maxster who won by the proverbial country mile to win the title for the second time in four years. Jet_Set_Willy and Harry Palmer finished second and thid respectively – just as they did last season.
Next season’s fixtures will be out shortly so I’ll soon be accepting registrations for the coming season. Bring it on!
Pontoon Game 3 – We have a winner!
After a nailbiting finale we finally have a winner after 12 weeks of Pontoon Game 3. With DAVE AT HARLOW having bust way back in Week 9 with Notts County, the second team to overstep the mark was Dagenham & Redbridge who started Tuesday evening on 19, progressed to 21 – and then added two late goals to move on to 23. Sorry Varns – you bust! This left the door wide open for several of the chasing pack – but it was Northern Monkey with Port Vale who carpe’d the diem with two goals against Accrington Stanley to take them to exactly 21.
Congratulations to Doug – I’ll be in touch shortly to arrange the relevant details.
With just 4 weeks left in the season there seems little point in starting a fourth game – especially as I’d be struggling to get anything organised for this weekend anyway – so the next game will be at the start of next season and will hopefully feature League One teams!
Thanks to all of you for taking part – and congratulations once again to Richard Llanwarne, Jock Shot and Northern Monkey who were this season’s winners. Thanks again also to both Richard for auctioning his shares and to DAVE AT HARLOW who won the subsequent auction.

ShotsWeb Challenge – Anybody still interested?
Maxster leads, Jet_Set_Mango is second, Harry Palmer third (not a lot of people know that). zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Saturday’s 2-0 defeat of Shrewsbury was the bonus game for March and we finally had a winner in the form of petespics - who “pics” up £40 courtesy of it being a triple-rollover. Super.
Two more away games coming up – and the Shots continue to be totally unpredictable!
Pontoon Game 3 – a little later
Last weekend’s fixtures made up Week 7 of Pontoon Game 3 – and we’re heading for an exciting finish. Current joint leaders are Richard Llanwarne (Burton Albion) and DAVE AT HARLOW (Notts County) on 16, 3 ahead of Northern Monkey (Port Vale) and riseoftheshots (Rochdale) – but there are still plenty of others in with a chance. But probably not Mike Wray (Bury). Never mind.
Pontoon Game 3 – 5 weeks in
Yesterday’s fixtures made up Week 5 of Pontoon Game 3 – and it’s DAVE AT HARLOW who leads the way courtesy of Notts County and their 13 goals. Closest opposition at the moment comes from Richard Llanwarne (Burton Albion – grrrrrr!!!!) and Stenhouse (Northampton) on 9.
Don’t forget – midweek games don’t count unless there’s a full set of fixtures so the next relevant action is next weekend.
ShotsWeb Challenge update – Shots 0 Burton 2
Three matches since the last update – and despite Shots having won two of them I really don’t know where we are going at the moment. Yesterday’s dismal home defeat to Burton was a truly appalling display – and with the likes of Shrewsbury and Rotherham losing, a real opportunity missed.
Still, if it’s consistency you want then the Prediction League is the place to come as Maxster continues to rack up the points on a regular basis (although yesterday was a rare poor day). With the lead now up to 33 points I think it’s safe to say that the rest of us are playing for second place – currently held by Jet_Set_Willy who is 9 points clear of third-placed Harry Palmer.
A bunch of tough away games coming up – what’s the betting we win the lot?
ShotsWeb Challenge update – Shots 2 Daggers 3
Apologies for the lack of recent updates but it’s hard to motivate myself when we’re doing pants on the pitch. It’s even harder when Maxster continues to piss this tinpot prediction league!
The gap at the top is now 30 points – if it was a boxing match it would have been stopped by now. Jet_Set_Willy has the dubious honour of being second best, closely followed by a bunch of chancers and also-rans. I really need to get some fresh blood in for next season – as of now none of you losers can expect to have your contracts renewed.
We’ve had a couple of bonus games since I last posted – and guess what? Yep – nobody came even close to winning the dosh. Get a grip – there’s now £40 riding on the March bonus game (v Shrewsbury).
Still – it could be worse. We could be three months away from the World Cup and England’s entire defence could be permanently injured / in disgrace / not playing anymore.
Oh, hang on ………..
Pontoon Game 3 – Off and running!
Three games in and Richard Llanwarne (Burton Albion) is the early leader with 7 goals to his name.
Midweek games this week did count as a full schedule was planned. Unfortunately a couple of games were postponed so the relevant people scored the default 2 goals (highlighted in the table).
Unfortunately our game wasn’t postponed. 
Those of you who have paid – thanks. Those of you who haven’t – you know what to do.
Dillon in!
Pontoon Game 3 – Let’s do it!
Teams have been drawn – and as I type Shots are 3-0 up away from home. Happy days! Dillon out!
