End of Season Review 2006/07

Season 13

Roll of Honour

Monthly Awards

Did you make a profit?

The table below will tell you how much money you won and your total profit/loss for the season.

Of the 34 competitors, 14 of you made a profit or broke even. As you would expect those winning the monthly prizes were up near the top but Ian Cowburn in 31^st won the final month, Patrick Williams in 29^th won a cup, top scorer prizes went to Matt Hall (27^th), Jimmy Lyons (25^th) and Adam Powsney (24^th- shared).           

Incredibly Jimmy Lyons had the best monthly record with 2 wins, totalling £110 but finished 25^th overall closely followed by Tim Owen 1 win, a 2^nd and a cup runner up (£90). Stu Jones was unlucky with 3 runner-ups in the monthly competitions.  12 finished out of the prizes altogether, highest placed being Jeff Miller in 17^th.

Dan Owen was the highest placed competitor to make a loss in 9^th place. Adam Powsney was unlucky in the cups reaching the QF in one and the Semi in the other. I had the worst cup record losing in the prelim and 1^st rounds but I clearly had bigger fish to fry.

Keech the Bookie - Just how did he do ??

I got 3 badly wrong all 19 places out, Mr Frost who clearly knows less about footy than I thought, Colin Rigby who had a disappointing season and Ryan Moody who began the season as Dan Hay and nearly transferred his whole team when he took so not surprising. Nobody else was more than 11 places different so I managed to get most in the right area.  

Check out the preview on the website. The comments make very interesting reading now.

How well did you perform (alphabetical order)?

Baldwin – Bottom half to Dec. Excellent rapid progress over Christmas to 2^nd place early Jan, decline from mid Feb to final 13^th place.

Bushell – Bottom half with steady improvement to top 10 in November. Mid table in Dec and Jan, slight improvement beginning of Feb. Nearly best position of the season at the end in12^th.

Cowburn – Decent start that soon fizzled out. A little progress in Oct but sank into the bottom 3 by the end of Nov. A big improvement in the final month of the season.

Farnham – By week 6 got himself into a challenging position. Moved into the top 5 by December but a slight decline in February scuppered any thoughts of reaching the summit.

Franklin – Newcomer who quickly established a top 10 position in Sept. Briefly moved into the top 5 in November. December was a disaster as he dropped to mid table but halting the slide.

Frost – Rare Flirtation with the top half in Sept and Dec. Fell away in the new year.

Gerrard C/P – Good start into the top 10, pre Christmas dropped away, post Christmas recovered back to the top 10.

Gerrard P – awful campaign. Bottom for most of the first half of the season. Good run in December meant the gap closed and a few places gained. Finished in his highest position all season.

Grundy – Same as usual, bottom half all season. Another who finished in his highest position all season

Hall – Very promising start, 2 sustained slumps in the first half of the season, never recovered. 

Hampson – Soon fell away in the first few weeks. Slight improvement towards Christmas, none descript 2^nd half.

Moody R – Very impressive, took on the job when in the bottom 5. Magnificent recovery. Reached top 3 in March just couldn’t complete the job.

Highton – Nothing but improvement from week 2. Once the top 10 reached in Jan just couldn’t sustain it.

Keech P – some quick transfers worked so well in the first few weeks. A dream run from mid Sept. Top for over half the season, looked like I had run out of steam 6 weeks from the end until that final fantastic week.

Kelly P/J – Just as predicted, a good start winning month 1. Held top spot for most weeks until the end of November. A slight decline in the new year but a good recovery in February. One final slump in the final two months once the transfers had run out. A good first effort.

Leech – very impressive after a poor start in the first 6 weeks. Held top 5 position in Feb and March. Early March poor run of results halted the charge.

Long – a great start from yet another debutante. Lack of experience told from Dec onwards. Reached lowest position in the final two weeks. 

Lyons – nobody had a season like Jimmy. Disappointing start. Incredible run of results from Nov to Jan picking up two monthlies in the process moving from 2^nd bottom to 3^rd in about 8 weeks. A just as impressive halt to form in the 2^nd half of the season.

Miller – another who took a while to get going but positively flew up the league from Oct to Jan. Again it fizzled out to a mid table finish.

Moody S – quickly established a firm position in the top 5. A slight wobble in December was followed with what looked like a perfectly timed run in the last weeks. Only the freaky final week stopped Shaun taking the title in his first season. 

Owen D – Sustained run Sept to Dec put Dan in fine fettle for the title charge after what could only be described as a messy internal reshuffle. A poor Dec and Feb put paid to that.

Owen T – our champion had a slow start was clearly suffering as a result of the pre season favourite tag. Some astute transfers paid dividends in Jan and Feb winning a fair bit of cash in the process. Just couldn’t sustain it to the end.  

Rigby C – an extremely disappointing campaign. A bright start faltered badly in Sept. Once he hit the bottom 3 he stayed there.

Powsney – another newcomer who began well. Once he hit 2^nd spot he fell away at an alarming rate. A slight recovery in February and that was it.

Finally……………………….. Stats Corner

See you all next season.
