With only two more qualifying matches to go before the grand final on December 20th, competition for the two qualifying places is intensifying.

On Saturday we had our two youngest competitors so far. Ashley Nevins, aged just 14, managed a very impressive 83 keepy-uppys and was looking like he might be about to put in a serious challenge for a top spot until a brief slip saw his hopes dashed with over 20 seconds of his minute still to go.

This means that Rob Cottis (126 keepy-uppys) and Chris Reynolds (119) are the current contenders for the big prize of a brand new Sony PS3, courtesy of our neighbours Currys on Winterstoke Road.

Dan Cornes and Steve Silverthorne (both 116) can consider themselves extremely unlucky to have got so close without making it to the last two.

If you think you can beat them, then I still need competitors for the Watford and Swansea games. The draw for Watford will take place later this week. Anyone who has already e-mailed me will automatically be included, and if you'd like to join them, please email me immediately.

We will shortly be announcing details of our new competition for the second half of the season, which I am sure will prove equally popular.

I'm still getting some good natured stick from certain quarters about an announcement I made at our Carling Cup game against Peterborough, when following a phone call to the ground, I asked a Mr Peter Barragh to return home immediately.

The hoax caller was at it again on Saturday during our game against Nottingham Forest when we received a call for a Mr F Gump to phone home. Bit of an obvious one there, which was spotted immediately.

Although we can all see the funny side of these prank calls, there is a serious side to this. I'd hate to not read out a serious call for someone whose name might sound a bit suspect because I thought it might be from someone on a wind up. You can rest assured that I will be monitoring all incoming calls even more carefully from now on.
