Game 2 of the Fishy Pontoon Buster has been won this week. In the 2 games so far £270 has been raised for The Mariners Trust and £810 will have been paid out in prizes after this weekends games.

I will be starting Game 3 of the Buster for the weekend beginning Friday 23rd January. The last game lasted about 10 weeks I think so for a one off entry fee of £10 with chances of winning some great cash prizes, I reckon it's good value for money as well as helping The Mariners Trust.

I have re-randomised the 116 League and Conference Premier teams. Usual entry again, either send £10 via Paypal to lesbrechin@hotmail.com or PM me for bank details if you wish to do a direct transfer. Please also include 2 numbers which will be your first and second choice of teams.

A quick reminder of the rules.

The winner will be the first team, or teams to score EXACTLY 21 goals. Only games between Friday and Monday count. If your team plays twice during this period then only the first game will count, If for any reason your team doesn't play between Friday-Monday for any reason (i.e postponements or international breaks) you score a default 2 goals. If a game is abandoned for any reason, then the score at the time of the abandonment will be taken.

If your team plays on the Friday or Saturday and you get the goals to make exactly 21 you must wait until the other teams have played that weekend, in case anyone else also scores 21.

Go over 21 and you are bust and out of this particular game.

Any more questions, just ask.

Just sent you £10 via bank transfer (reference PSGMARINER).

Not bothered re number so please pick one at random.

I put 1 to 116 in a random number generator which gave me the number below.

Entrant 20 - Psg Mariner - 93 - Bradford City

Just a reminder to anyone sending money by PayPal to use the "family and friends" option as it incurs no charges to either party.

20 entrants so far which isn't a bad start. Still plenty of time before the next game starts (a week on Friday)

Hopefully we can get near the amount of entries we had in the last 2 games.

£10 sent via paypal les 19 or 23 please

Numbers gone so far to help any more entrants.

1, 2, 4, 9, 16, 18, 19, 20, 27, 28, 30, 33, 34, 35, 39, 44, 47, 55, 58, 67, 79, 86, 93, 96, 102, 115

26 entries so far but still some way to go to reach the 50 and 58 that took part in the first 2 games.

Still plenty of time though as the game doesn't start until next weekend but don't leave it too late and forget if you are planning on entering.

Sent £20 for Mrs and myself can Mrs have 10 or 37 and myself 57 or 101 please

Keep the entries coming, but can I just re-iterate that if you are sending your money via PayPal then please choose the "SEND MONEY TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY option, and not the "PAY FOR GOODS AND SERVICES" option as this incurs a charge to my PayPal account.

I had £10 come through earlier with a 54p charge and I have recently received a £20 payment which has cost me 88p. I don't mind covering the odd one but if many more come through like that then I will have to deduct the cost from the winnings.

Just please make sure that you choose the correct option and then there are no charges incurred at all.

Thank You.

I emailed Dave Roberts last week but he told me that he was abroad until yesterday but he would get on to it when he got back. If I don't get an email from the trust tomorrow I will send another email to remind him. Dave usually get about half a dozen entrants too.

Right on, I'm looking forward to collecting my winnings.  ;)

Entry still available up to 7.30pm on Friday night.

Still could do with quite a few more entries to get up to the level we had in the previous two games.

This thread needs to be replacing  the sticky for game 2 at the top

This thread needs to be replacing  the sticky for game 2 at the top

I will be making a new "sticky" thread on Friday evening when the game starts. I am keeping this thread in the main area of the board until then, as I think people tend not to look at the stickies all the time.

Come on people, get a team picked, it's a bit of fun, only costs about £1 per week and helps the club.

Think we need a bogof offer

Les, what are the rules if a game goes into extra time and even penalties?

Quoted from Bradford Mariner

Les, what are the rules if a game goes into extra time and even penalties?

It's the 90 minute score only, although I wouldn't have thought that many games played over the weekend period would go to extra-time but just to clarify that if any do then it's the 90 minute score only.
