(sorry for the delay . . . I blame the wedding, plus very serious technical problems)
It’s been another fantastic entry into this, our eighth Come On Darlo Prediction League – 194 managers battling it out for the top prize of £100 and, more importantly, the prestige of being “Top Dog” in your own lunchtime. Thanks for your support once again and also to those who added donations – all profits going towards Craig Liddle’s successful youth setup.

Last season’s champ Ethan Vallis is back to defend his title, but there will be stiff opposition from old hands at this game . . . but we also welcome entries from several first-timers. Remember, keep a check on your scores and if any queries email me here straight away.

So what’s happened in the first 3 games? Well, we managed to scramble a 1-0 home win in the opening game against Braintree and then a very creditable 0-0 away at most people’s favourites for the league – Fleetwood – where by all accounts we were the better team. So, coming in to today’s game against Tamworth hopes were high that a third successive clean sheet would lead to a Darlo win.
But not a bit of it, as manager Cooper said “we wouldn’t have scored if we’d stayed all night”, as a late penalty consigned The Quakers to their first defeat.

None of this has bothered Sarah Walton – three correct scores out of three with 24 points!!! I advise getting those lottery tickets put on as well, Sarah. This is a fantastic start to the season, but not clear of the field by any means as both James Houghton and Martin Clarke are just behind on 19 points with Steve Curtis just a little further back on 16 in fourth place.
Only ten managers have yet to break their points duck, so is this the season where the winner breaks the 200-point barrier?
