TENNER CUP FINAL - THIS WEEK!
Westgate Runners v Walkley tenner
There are games every day this gameweek with the exception on next Monday. The Tenner Cup final therefore covers games played from Tues 11th to Sun 16th May which of course includes the FA Cup final on Saturday.
Form going into the final:
Round 1
Both teams got a bye but during friendlies scored 28 and 25 points respectively
Round 2
Westgate scored 68 points, narrowly beating me in the process by just two points....
Walkley tenner scored an excellent 84 points
Round 3
WR achieved the highest score of the competition between the two finalists, managing three figures with 100 points
Wt weighed in with the same score as the previous round or 84 points
QF
Only nine points between them with Wt edging it 49 to 38
SF
Even closer with WR getting revenge and taking the honours 47 to 43
Summary:
Competition total points
Westgate 281-285 Walkley
Total goals scored
Westgate 37-41 Walkley
Avg points per round
Westgate 56.2 - 57 Walkley
On paper therefore, Walkley tenner looks favourite to edge a close week and take home the cup. However, from the moment Westgate Runners dumped my team from the competition in round two I've had the feeling their name was on the Cup.....
One has to wonder how much effect the rearranged United v Liverpool match will have on the outcome - it's a funny old game as they say.
Which way will it go?!!
Thanks for taking part this season and the very best of luck to both players in the final!
