PAS Lucky 13 Spring ’23 Week 13 round up
“Proper…”
This is late due to the PAS Cup semi-final replay.
So cast your mind back to the Coronation weekend…
Actually, don’t. I’ll just get on with the facts.
Only eight players scored 30 points or more in the final week of the season and they all could have won the £20 weekly prize.
In fact, the 10 that left Mr 2-0 in charge of their scores could have won it too.
And yes, all of them beat my score…
So lots of youse can count yourselves unlucky, but it was Peter Morley 33 (6) that came out as top dog with absolutely no luck involved given that 4 of his 6 correct scores were from the Scottish Premiership!
McImpressive!
“Blue”:
And in the final week of the season at the other end, eleven punters failed to get more than 15 points.
Seven didn’t get a correct score (spare a thought for Rowan M with his 18 points!).
One didn’t get into double figures.
Tony Morris 8 (0) is on the beach ladies & gents…
Correct Score of the Week:
Blimey, that was a week…most popular score was Hibernian’s 2-1 win over St Mirren – 23 of youse got that!
Seventeen said “Look at me! Yes! Me!” for their Burnley 3 Cardiff 0
7 celebrated the bore draw between Wigan & Rotherham
Five had their secret prayers answered by the “Saints of Nil” for the stalemate at Kenilworth Road
Howard T, Justin C & Deepak B nabbed the form book upsetting Bournemouth 1 Chelsea 3
Olly O & Darren McC lapped up the 14 minutes of injury time joy of Exeter 3 Morecambe 2
Richard H just knew Bristol City would keep a clean sheet for a o-2 at QPR
El Presidente celebrated like Walsall at Highbury in ’83 after that 1-0 at Anfield
Luke S put us all to shame by predicting Spurs 1 C Palace 0
Paul H believed in Man City. A 2-1 kinda belief…
Dilip A thanked the Lord for Joe Piroe – his 93rd minute goal gifting a whole nine points at Swansea
However, this week’s best correct score goes to Orla McKeown for her I-knew-my-team-could-do-it-and-in-style-too inspired, PNE 0 Sunderland 3!
Bet of the Week:
Ryan Graves was on “Bet of the Week” position 33rd in Week 12 so we asked him to provide a treble selection for the £3 “trixie” bet.
And guess what?!
Oh dear.
He played it safe with a very conservative top-of-the-table Stirling to win at bottom-placed Albion, promotion-chasing Stockport to beat relegated Hartlepool, and scrambling Cambridge to beat relegated Forest Green…
L L W!
So, £0 goes on “Bet of the Week” slot 33rd leaving it on £8.02 – oh well…
Great effort from all our BoTWers this season.
Say it quietly, but I think we may be onto something here…but I always say that, don’t I….
Table News:
One crashed the Top Ten.
Highest climber this week, up a whopping 18 places, is David Goggin – honourable mentions go to Darren McC (+12), Jazz S (+18), Scott H (+12), Dan H (+12) and Jack B (+13)
Falling furthest this week, down a whopping 26 places, is Lisa Ward – dishonourable mentions go to Pete B (-17), Matthew S (-17), Rich L (-15) and Sam A (-15)
PAS Cup 2022:
Semi Finals ties went ahead this week…
It. Was. Really. Dramatic!
We had 1 successful joker! And, 1 heartbreaker!
Simon Buxton dispatched Andy Kelly 27 (5) to 21 (2) to take his place in the Final.
But the only non-successful “joker” of four meant Jack Buxton earnt a replay against Charlie Harris in a 31 (5) all draw!
It went to extra time (17 games over last weekend) and, amazingly, we finally got a winner. But only just…
Jack Buxton emerged the winner by 16(3) – 15 (3) in a nail-biter to set up a family affair in the Final
Now that was a Cup tie!
Commiserations to the losers – the £30 should see you right though eh?!)
