NORTHAMPTON TOWN 0 CRAWLEY TOWN 1

With a number of matches being lost to Covid recently, it was good to almost finally catch up with all the lost games this week. Though with a massive number of positive Covid cases still in the country, I find it strange none were called off due to Covid. The nine fixtures this week produced more games to be logged under unpredictable, especially those from League 2. Despite four games failing to have a 3 pointer, the other five did manage to have a decent 24, with Division One continuing to dominate the Premier, by winning that particular battle 18-6. On what was for most another tough week, two members did remarkably well to get three 3 pointers, they were wessex_exile, who had the Fleetwood 1-0 and the two one alls at Accrington and Cheltenham, together with two outcomes, to make him the weeks top scvorer with a brilliant 11 points. Also basher2010, who got the Carlisle 2-0 and the two one alls at Accrington and Cheltenham, and one outcome to give him an excellent 10 points. Four members had two 3 pointers, the best of which came from BFG, who got the Accrington 1-1 and the Carlisle 2-0, and MrHappy2, who had the 2-0 wins for Lincoln and Carlisle. They both had three outcomes to give them a superb 9 points.
Champions League The requisite number of games required to determine qualification was finally reached today. In a season that has been dominated by the members in Division One, it is not surprising to find the top nine in that League have qualified. They are joined by the top two from the Premier, and current holder concordman. All details on the competition will be on a separate thread, to be administrated by wessex_exile.
In the Premier By having the Fleetwood 1-0 spot-on, TheFatGooner increased his lead to 3 points, and became the first member in this division to get a century of points. Two outcomes for RSCOSWORTH, and he remains a clear second. On a low scoring week for this division, it was a massive 10 points for basher2010, and he moves up five places into third. An impressive five outcomes for unitedwhites, but he drops a place to fourth. After getting the Cheltenham 1-1 spot-on, Daniel moves up a couple of places to fifth. The bottom three remain the same, but there is only 3 points separating 5th to 10th. At the bottom Blue4U2 was another to get the Chelyenham 1-1 spot-on, and that has helped him reduce the deficit to safety by 4 points from last week.
In Division One Another to benefit from getting the Cheltenham 1-1 spot-on was Lewis_1, and it enabled him to open up a 2 point lead. That is from the weeks top scorer wessex_exile, who moves up four places into the other automatic spot again. Just losing out on the most 3 pointer rule is Pinault_Noir, who was another to have the Cheltenham 1-1 spot-on this week. Remaining fourth is Tropical_Us, after getting the Accrington 1-1 spot-on. Despite also having that Acctington draw spot-on, bleeagle drops two places to fifrth. Back down to his familiar sixth place is gerry_us, but he remains well in sight of the top spot that will now earn him £200, after the generous MrHappy2 increased the offer for him to win the league. He may do something to stop him winning himself, after his superb week moved him to within 4 points of the play-offs. The superb week for BFG moved him up to season high seventh, and just a point off the play-offs. The other members to get two 3 pointers were GOSBTS, who had the Fleetwood 1-0 to go with the Lincoln 2-0. It moved him up a place, but more will be required to have shot at the play-offs. Also Madeira163, who got the Cheltenham 1-1 and the Fleetwood 1-0. It was enough to take him off the bottom for ther first time since Week 3, as he takes advantage of a no show from oxfcolu. In fact that has really made the fight to avoid the wooden spoon interesting, with the bottom three all on 73 points.
