Some big scores were predicted for this one, but oh boy, nothing like what the Dolphins delivered!

We had 25 entries, 23 for the win, 1 for a draw and one for a loss. Total goes predicted for Poole across those 25 was 72 with just 17 conceded!!

In the final analysis we had no 9-pointers, 11 five-pointers, 12 3-pointers and two thanks for entering!


And so it came to pass that Toby Holmes' goal late on in the first half meant that the one prediction that had the Dolphins returning pointless, couldn't yield nine points, with the predicted score having Poole striking once.
Then, when Tony Lee made it three a further eight predictors fell out of the running for maximum points, but there were six predictors that would be 'happy' if things stayed that way (another three though might have been willing Didcot on to score themselves, just the once!!!). But four minutes on from that 'euphoria' things turned with just six predictors left in with a chance of making it a nine-pointer, when Toby scored his second it left two predictors holding an all-correct score.
Ten minutes on and whilst the win (because surely we wouldn't be able to throw this lead away) was going to give twenty three of the twenty five entries at LEAST three points, only davidharfield44 had a chance of the full nine, but that needed Poole to relinquish the clean sheet. But of course Tony's brace was to destroy even that 5-1 prediction and so that need for a clean sheet became uppermost in the mind of no fewer than the eleven entries that Didcot failing to score as Poole won away, for that would be five handy points added to the coffers of their prediction league totals.
Included in that eleven was the pre-match leader ellisgs and with the absence of Welshdolphin and bilk going for a 3-1 result it meant the lead at the top would be consolidated although canfordolphin made up ground with their 2-0 prediction.
