Great correct score double for a Rock punter

A Rock Street punter took Ladbrokes for a few quid at the weekend with a correct score double.
The canny punter placed 2 x £5 wins and a £10 double and his bet got off to a flyer when he correctly picked a 2-2 scoreline in the Liverpool v Man City, which got a 14/1 price .
So money banked and a nice sweat on his second selection with £155 now riding on the evening kick-off at Old Trafford.
He took Man Utd to beat Everton 3-0 at 7/1 and the champions did just that to give our punter a pre- Christmas boost with our savvy winner picking up £1, 315 – a really cracking double.
Another punter in the money on Tuesday was Chris McKenna who in fact went to the bookies for a football bet that night, looked up at the board and picked two horses that were about to run.
First horse down was Grange Alainn in the 3.05 at Gowran Park and he just got up at 10/1 to give him a £55 riding on his next one in the 3.20 at Sedgefield. And Chris couldn’t believe his luck when 12/1 shot Opus Cafe got up and won to net him £615.
It was our punter’s biggest return ever on the horses and he did the right thing by just lifting and walking – great fiver bet, and how we love small stakes.

PG CUP 2009 FIRST SEMI-FINAL
THE BCC Legal Eagles sealed the last semi-final place last weekend after ousting the Citybus Duo – but only just.
The Busmen grabbed three winners but it only worked out as a 4.9/1 treble while the Eagles’ two winners paid over 5.1/1, so the City Hall lads will face Bombardier Hotshots in next week’s semi-final crunch match.
The first semi-final is this week with hot favorites Boucher Bankers taking on 2007 champs DVLNI in what looks a very hard challenge to call.
They take on a DVLNI team who have been there, done that, and are hungry to regain their title this year.
DVLNI are led by team captain Damian ‘The Hoff’ Armstrong, who has told the PG that they expect a stroll this weekend against the bankers.
“We have beaten better teams and we think the bankers peaked in the last round and are now there for the taking this weekend,” the Hoff told the PG.
He keeps the same team that saw off the Stormont 4 so seasoned gamblers Paul ‘Hookbacker’ Officer and Kevin ‘Waterbottle’ McGuckin are back in the plate for the weekend
Boucher Bankers have re-invented themselves and changed a few faces as they bid to move away from the old Bank On Us name that failed to make the grade here last year.
They have had seven winning selections from eight in their two games in this season’s competition.
The betting duo of JP ‘ 2-2 draw’ Crossan and Kevin ‘Odds-On’ Gallagher make this team up with still no place for Tommy ‘Think Tank’ Smyth after the banking duo delivered a 14/1 winning quad when beating the fading force of the BMG Printers in the quarter-finals. JP laughed off at suggestions that his side has peaked too soon.
“We’re only getting started and we fully expect to be visiting the settler’s counter come Monday and hopefully that should be enough to see in us into the final,” he said.
BOUCHER BANKERS: Notts Forest 8/11, Fulham 10/11, Newcastle 4/6, Blackpool 6/5
DVLNI PUNTERS: Arsenal (draw) 15/8, Middlesboro 5/4, Man Utd 1/3, Tranmere 10/11
