SEAN'S IN ELEVENTH HEAVEN!

After 11 attempts Sean Ellis finally secures his very first Footcall crown. Sean's first Footcall was way back in 2002 and 18 years later he might have a few more grey hairs (Footcall will do that to you) but now he can tell his mates down the golf club that he is a the new Footcall 2020 Champion. Well done mate, I am thrilled for you despite you backing Italy to win the final over England :-) His victory sees him collect £515 for his efforts and not only that but he enters the Footcall Hall of Fame table in joint 12th position. I am sure he will be looking forward to next year when he will be the defending Champion in Footcall 2022.

Also picking up her first ever Footcall HoF points is Jill Fuller who finished in runner up spot who has taken part in eight Footcalls and the highest she has ever been is 25th. Gary Thorp finished third and Ryan Gadsby fourth. An unbelievable fifth place for Matt Clark who was well down the list after the Group Stages. His success saw him win the Knockout Stages league by the narrowest of margins from Peter Arnold by the fact that Matt got more red squares than Peter.

Paul Firmston appeared out of nowhere (as he often does) to take 6th and Light Warrior, Jason Realf finished 7th. Tony Gardner (yes Tony Gardner) amazingly finished 9th and Carl Andrews snuck into 10th. Lee Woods who won the Group Stages did hang on to 11th and the final three money places were taken by James Sandiford, James Smith and the wife of last year’s winner, Kelly Sains. Well done to everyone who finished in the prize money.

As for the football, at full time it finished Italy 1 v 1 England and then the Italians claimed the trophy by way of a penalty shootout, you can read a full match report HERE
