Lincolnshire Individual SCORECAST LEAGUE 2005-2006 season Run in conjunction with Lincs Racing, Artillery Row, Boston The Lincolnshire Individual Scorecast League is a football predictions competition run this season as a fund-raising venture for Boston Cricket Club. Entrants listed below have completed forms before the start of the 2005-2006 football season and points are accumulated on the basis of FIVE for an exactly correct scoreline prediction or THREE if only the correct result (home, away or draw) is indicated. Additional regular bonus points are added during the season (details featured below). Overall end-of-season prizes will be as follows: CHAMPION, £150; RUNNER-UP £100; THIRD £60; FOURTH £30. There will also be a bonus prize fund of £60 to be shared by entrants finishing the competition on exactly 85 points.

Final summary: The 2005-2006 season of Scorecast League action is now complete. And, subject to final recheck and ratification, top honours are heading for sports reporter Duncan Browne of the Boston Standard who has amazed his pals and associates alike by somehow scrambling back to the top of the pile, largely on the strength of bagging 40 bonus points from his end-of-season predictions. John Morris and Linda Page will share the second placed spoils while John Shelson has secured fourth place. Six contestants share the bonus prize for finishing on 85 points (see pink section in table below). Leigh Starbuck was the only competitor to list the word “none” against the sub-section for the first team to have one player scoring four goals in a match and thus stood alone as a five-point recipient here. The only person not to collect any points from the multitude of divisional final placings was Jean Rose of Boston who, judging by her choices, must have mis-read the category as “list the bottom three teams!” But, it’s all part of the fun of Scorecasting. Watch out for next season’s competition. And in the meantime, don’t forget the deadline for World Cup Scorecast entries is fast approaching — it’s June 8. Sheets are now available and are being distributed. Anyone wanting entry forms posting can email their full postal details to the bostoncricketclub@fsmail.net address.
