Apologies, I was only reminded yesterday that these ties were scheduled for last weekend!!
The semi-finals were played over the weekend of 2nd-4th April (Round 46).
The first semi-final was between Paul Maiden and Dave Nicholls – Paul won this tie, 9-6. They both correctly forecast that Spurs and Liverpool would win. It was the Villa v Wolves game that was the difference – Paul correctly forecast a 2-0 win for Villa. Dave will be cursing that Wolves never got a consolation goal as he had 2-1.
The other semi-final was contested between Peter Wooldridge and Shaun Mcgee. Peter scored 9 points – forecasting Liverpool and Spurs to win and also getting the Villa results spot on. However, Shaun correctly predicted that Liverpool would beat Brighton 2-1, as well as predicting wins for Spurs and Villa and draws in the games between Brentford and United/City and Arsenal – earning him 13 points in total.
The final will be played on the weekend of 27th April.
