In the race to win Week 41 spoils, Graeme Patullo shrugged off a late challenge from Ian Murray. Ian’s 1-1 Cup Final prediction looked like earning him a share of the money until Odsonne Edouard’s 82nd-minute winner spoiled the party.
The same equaliser also ended John Fletcher’s bold bid to overhaul Graeme Patullo and finish the season in 3rd place. John had swapped his score to 2-1 Hearts, and this looked a distinct possibility after Ryan Edward’s had put the Jambos ahead, only for Edouard to equalise from the penalty spot (“Don’t mention penalty spot!” yelled by every Dundee United suppporter) 10 minutes later.
So, Graeme Patullo wins the money this week, seven points ahead of Ian Murray, Brian Barnett and Wattie.
In the race for end-of-season prizes, the Top 3 were…
- David Imlay ……… 494 points
- Ian Murray ……….. 483 points
- Graeme Patullo …. 473 points
A more in-depth analysis of the whole season will be produced in the next few days.
In the end, £1,344 was given out in prize-money – broken down into £1,075 to our Weekly Winners and £269 to the End-of-Season Winners.
Thanks to everyone who supported the Sweep throughout the long, dark winter days and nights.
Season 2019/20 starts in Scotland on 3rd of August (fixtures announced on 19th June). English Premiership commences on 10th of August (fixtures announced on 13th June).
We hope to run the GBC Football Sweep again next year. Anyone with suggestions as to how it can be improved please feel free to bring them up any time (For example, I’ve been thinking that awarding 3½ points for a correct DRAW result?)
