I was going to wait until after the final of the Euro's before I announced this but due to recent events I though the time was right now.

I will be starting a new Fishy Pontoon Buster game from the first weekend of the season and on this occasion will (with the blessing of The Mariners Trust, who I usually donate the money to)  I will be donating the usual 25% to the fund set up to help Graham Holness and his family with the expenses that they will incur during Graham's treatment. Having spent the best part of 3 months in Hull Royal Infirmary myself I know how much of a strain the financial side of things can put on an already awful situation with hospital visits and outpatients appointments etc.

I have re-randomised the 116 teams in the top 5 Division of English Football. Entry will stay the same as last year at £10 per team which will cover the whole course of the competition (usually around 7-8 weeks) and entry can be made either via Paypal to lesbrechin@hotmail.com or by direct bank transfer. My details are still the same as last time but if anyone wants to know them just PM me. You should also include 3 numbers for your 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice of team and this will be the random team allocated to you.

These are the rules if you are unaware of them.  The winner will be the first team (or teams) to score EXACTLY 21 goals, if you go over 21 then you are bust and out of the game. Only games played between Friday and Monday count. If your team plays twice in this period, only the first game counts. If for any reason your team does not play then you score a default 2 goals. Also, in case of any game being abandoned you will also score a default 2 goals, unless more than 2 goals have been scored, which will then be the total that counts.

There will also be a lowest score prize will be won by the team (or teams) with the least goals when the prize is won and there is also a prize for the team that score "nil" on 3 successive weekends. If you win the "3 nils" prize, then you cannot win the lowest score prize too, but you can still win the first prize.

I will accept entries up until 6pm on Friday 5th August when I will announce the amount of the donation to Graham's fund and the 3 prizes.

Any more questions just ask.

Going well so far. 31 entries and still the usual lot to come in from Mariners Trust members that I know of but keep them coming in. We had 54 entries for the final game of last season so hopefully we can beat that.

Bump, just to keep this near to top of the board.

Keep your entries coming for this.

Just bumping this back to the top to stop if falling off the first page.

39 entries so far but I will take entries up until 6pm on Friday 5th August so keep the entries coming, and don't forget that I will be donating 25% of what I take to the fund set up for Graham Holness.

Entries have slowed down in the last few days but we still have 39 entries confirmed at the minute, Don't forget that there is no limit to the number of teams you can have, so if anyone wants a 2nd go then that's no problem.

Hopefully we can get over 50 entries before the deadline which is 6pm on Friday 5th August.

I've just realised that the Premiership doesn't start until the week after the Football and National League so to save having to give all Premiership teams the default 2 goals on the first week I will postpone the start of this game until the following week when all teams are playing.

Therefore the deadline to enter will now be 6pm on Friday 12th August as opposed to the 5th.

2 days left to get your entries in. Closing time for entries is 6pm this Friday.

Don't forget there is no limit to the amount of entries you can have so if anyone who has entered wants another go that's fine.

Penultimate day to enter. 55 entries so far but it would be nice to make it to 60 before the game starts.

Deadline is 6pm tomorrow.

Last day for any late entries. Deadline is 6pm today!

Would be nice just to get another 5 entires to take it up to a nice round 60 entries.

I've sent my money Les, can you pick a random number for me please, thanks.

2 more to go to make a nice round 60 entries. Deadline less than a couple of hours away now.

Money sent Les

16, 69 or 73 please

Who fancies having the 60th go then before the deadline. Be a lot easier to round up the prizes and donation to Graham's fund than having 59 entries.

I will have another if you wish to make it 60 but I realise it is 9 mins past the deadline. I've sent you the money
