The weekends biggest surprise saw WD lose their unbeaten record - over 85% of us expected a win for the league leaders in this one.  Our other surprise results saw Helensburgh win at Clydebank (87% of us went for the home team), whilst nearly 77% of us expected Lochaber to win at home against Cowal.

With three surprise results, we find this weeks average success rate is down at 61%, compared to the previous overall average of 66%.

The surprise scorelines look to have caught a few of our regulars out this week, but despite this we do have some pretty decent results.  Grwyrafnc comes in with 100%, but they look to be trying their hardest to up their average by only submitting three predictions.

John Carson takes second place with his regular West 1 suggestions, scoring 5 from 6.  Looking across a wider West 1 competition, there were several entrants who would have scored 6 from 6.

For those who submitted entries across all the fixtures, it's Willie Steele who takes the honours with 13 from 16.

With several of our regulars having a lower scoring week, we see a number of changes in the overall leaderboard.

Keith Bradley still leads the way, though his average is down to 76.3%.  John Fisher moves up to second with  an average of 75.6%

With his 13 from 16 this week, Willie Steele is a new entrant to the overall top 10 leaderboard.

Our criteria for a place on the overall leaderboard now requires a minimum of 30 predictions for games played.  The full leaderboard is available here.

We have two new entrants this week, both using the name "S" - can you get in contact so we can identify who's who.

Monthly Winners:

December - GlensGirl
