COMMENTRY : Carl King puts in this weeks biggest score, getting 7 
correct from 10. Henry throws away one game, by mistakenly assuming
one game was not going to be played when it was ! The two Davids 
swop league positions in the struggle against religation...

Commentary : Another good showing from Richard Aston, as we have come
to expect. Carl blows away 2 opportunities on the miss guided 
assumption that 2 of the games were not to be played ! We've seen 
people do this before and I would urge people to always submit a
prediction. Carl King closes up on Henry Davis looking to increase his
prize money by grabbing second place right at the end of the 
football_scores game.


League positions :
Richard Aston   371 + 16 = 387
Henry Davis     336 +  4 = 340
Carl King       329 + 10 = 339
Sam Hughes      308 + 13 = 321
David Overton   257 +  9 = 266
David Hunt      254 + 10 = 264

Highest scorer in the competition to date is : Sam Hughes 27 pts on 
26 Dec

Commentary : Henry Davis, who was being caught by Carl King, and was
clearly in peril of loosing his second place (and prize) puts in a 
stunning 27 points this week! He got 6 correct from 10 and got 3 
correct scores. This equals Sam Hughes' 27 points on 26 December.
Fantastic score. At the bottom of the league the two Davids swop 
positions again.
