Game 2 kicked off with 110 players – meaning a prize pot of £550. Ten different teams were picked in this opening round – two of them in the same game. Southampton v Leicester was the only game not to feature.

On Saturday, in the lunchtime game, Tottenham faced West Ham in a London derby at the Tottenham stadium – 28 players had picked Spurs and they eased through with a 4-1 win. In the 3pm games, Fulham took on Aston Villa at Craven Cottage – Gary Donely and Paul Barlow backed the Cottagers but go out after a 3-1 defeat. Ipswich were still looking for their 1st win of the season as they welcomed Everton to Portman Road – Jack Horsler had picked Ipswich Town while Gemma Jackson had picked the Toffees, and it’s Gemma who goes through after a 2-0 win for the Blues. Newcastle faced Brighton at St James’ Park – 7 players were hoping the Magpies could overcome the Seagulls but a 1-0 defeat sees them drop out. In the teatime game, Bournemouth welcomed Arsenal to the Vitality stadium – 31 players had picked the Gunners but a surprise 2-0 defeat sees an early exit for them all.
On Sunday, in the early game, Wolves faced Manchester City at Molineux – 31 players were hoping for a City win and it looked like a second LMS upet was on the cards until a last minute winner saw City win 2-1. In the later game, Liverpool took on Chelsea at Anfield – Dave Rogers and Paul Murphy had picked the Reds and they go through after a 2-1 win.
Finally, on Monday night, Nottingham Forest played Crystal Palace at the City Ground – Alex Ramsden, Joel Wilkinson, Marie Robinson, Michael Grierson and Tony Smith had picked Forest and a 1-0 was enough to put them through.

In total, 41 players fell at the first hurdle, leaving 69 players still standing. Deadline for Round 2 is Friday 24th October at noon. A full update can be viewed here.
