Lurchy’s Tips

Hello everyone and welcome along to an overdue addition of Lurchy’s Tips ahead of an extra special sporting weekend. The domestic football season is back in full swing and I for one am like Will Carter in a bath of Gaymers (in my element). As well as the obligatory Saturday accumulators to consider, we also have a mouth-watering friendly taking place at Social Park on Sunday morning as near-neighbours Nettleham arrive at the Club for what promises to be a high-quality curtain-raiser for the new pub season.

As ever, I have been studying the formbooks obsessively over the last few days in order to help ease your financial worries in these testing times. Here are my picks:

Lurchy’s Acca – Arsenal, Everton, Chelsea, Cardiff, QPR, Southampton, Rotherham, Clyde – 25/1

Lurcy’s Treble – Sunderland, Bristol City, Port Vale – 14/1

Lurcy’s Banker – Craig Bellamy to score any time Cardiff v Doncaster – EVS

And, after picking up your winnings on Sunday morning, you may want to consider the following for Welton vs Nettleham – which gets underway live on Sky Sports HD1/1 from 10.30am at Social Park.

J.Tinkler, J.McGovern, O.Furness, S.Coupland all to score – 50/1

More than 5.5 goals – 4/1

Will Carter to continue his goalscoring form – 20/1

Joe Drabble to score and celebrate by taking off Grandad Clifford’s hat – 50/1

Clive Wilkinson to produce a card during 90 minutes – 3/1

Copious amounts of ale to be drank after the final whistle – Betting suspended.
