Huw are ya?

Breaking News 88888 Manager of week 24
Huw Thomas was rewarded for a fantastic season in week 24 with a share of the manager of the week spoils. His 93 points was identical to leader Greg Foulger, who proved his fantasy expertise and belies mine and other ex-pats gripes that not living at home hinders our fantasy football prowess.

Greg & Huw pipped John McGowan to the MoW by a solitary point, Johnny Mc despite a great season is still looking for his first weekly prize but he did blow the rest of the Div 1 players away with his big score and moved into 3rd.

Outside title hopefuls Mark Wenman and Shay Reddy kept up the pressure with fine week 24’s. Ryan Saveall stormed back into the top 6 after a long absence with a 74, the same as Ian Kennett who broke his season’s best.

Back in Div 2 kudos to Dom Barrett, whose recent transfer activity is starting to show dividends. Howard Grace and Danny Rose both gained ground as did his old mucker Pete Godfrey.

The biggest surprise in week 24 was the excellent score out of the Endurance stable. Managed by Martin Lee they have had a bloody awful season, making the penultimate place their own but a 63 on the back of a 65 two weeks ago finally showed us that they can handle this league.

Other manager’s worth a mention for decent scores in week 24 were Ben Graves, Soozie, Francey, the Barwick & Higgs double act, Alex Byatt, Dewbs, Hilary Ryan, Nobby, Steve Black, Peter Doyle, Mark Simmons and Tatters.

The week’s worst manager was Paul Long – come on Mutley, you’re giving us ex-pats a bad name!
