A very good Easter Saturday morning to you all.
Today, in response to a few requests from regular entrants, we are going to try a different sport - Boxing. It may or may not prove popular, but there's no harm in giving it a try once. I hope you'll all support it, as we need to try to engage as many people as possible in these comps to justify the Entries which Sky Poker generously donate.
And, so you are not wrong-footed, Sunday's format will be football, total goals, on either Arsenal v Palace or Cardiff City v Liverpool.

First though, the Leaderboard as it stands going into today.
Yesterday's unlikely 97th minute equaliser has shaken up the table a treat, & it's still all to play for.

Our boxing bout today will be televised live on Sky Sports Action tonight, & the scheduled start time is 9pm, so latest entries will be 8.30pm.
The bout is between England's Dereck Chisora & Senad Gashi from Germany.
Here they are at the weigh-in, where Chisora was a whopping 3 stone heavier than the German, who has won 17 of his 19 fights by knockout;
The straightforward "outright" does not appeal, as the prices are so lop-sided, so we will go for Winner & Method of Victory.
Here are the odds which we will settle at, these are the current odds from Skybet.com....
Dereck Chisora By KO/TKO or Disqualification 4/9
Dereck Chisora By Decision/Technical Decision 5/2
Senad Gashi By KO/TKO or Disqualification 7/1
Senad Gashi By Decision/Technical Decision 12/1
Here's a piece from Sky Sports about the fight including some words from Chisora;

This is all you need to do. Name the boxer & the method of victory.
Chisora by decision.
(That would be 5/2)
Or, say....
Gashi by KO
(That's 7/1)
That's it, we are good to go.
Good luck.
Any questions, fire away.
Gashi by KO
Thank you.
