Okay Gentlemen, We have news on the Matt Hawker Cup 2019.

So far, what do we know?
The date will be the 15th of June
And held in Oxfordshire-ish again.

After speaking to all 24 players, they have all told me they would like to play again next year, and due to their monumental effort how can anyone say no?

After seeing the wonderful words and backing on the site, it is clear a lot more people want to join in for 2019, so we have decided to increase squad sizes from 12 to 14, allowing us to have 4 new players.

Quite frankly there is no easy way to choose, so from as of right now we are running a competition.

It is one question you have to answer, by midnight, Friday the 22nd of June.

How many in TOTAL, goals will be scored at the world cup 2018. So yes this includes all goals previous to today, so time to do some homework ;)

The closest 4 will be added into the Matt Hawker cup, the next 4 after that will be placed on the reserve list. It is an honour to Matt and the website that so many people want to get involved and for that i am extremely grateful.

For any ties in the final standings, it will work on closest guess then move down to who submitted their guess first, so you may want to wait till friday after a few more goals, but is it worth the risk?!

Please email me on benjaminallen1991@hotmail.co.uk, your username if you have one, contact email address and your guess.

Best of luck!

Why play it in Oxfordshire? There’s so many posters with friends within the club that surely we can play the next game at Anfield. Just think all the regulars playing on the pitch while all us regular readers/ occasion posters sit in the stands. Perfect scenario for this site if you ask me.

Just a thought guys but if there is plenty of interest could you maybe consider shortening the teams and length of games to make maybe 4 teams competing? Maybe 7 aside as an example? Food for thought?
