nutty nigel 7,506 Posted February 20, 2013 Greetings PUPs and welcome to week 28 of our Rays Funds For The Academy season. This week we a real star and Rays Funds legend with Leeds Canary in charge and making the final selections. Now for me personally one of the best things that has come from this community is the real friendships that have been forged with people who would never have met without it. My life would be poorer without these friendships and especially poorer without the friendship of Kev. I’m far from being the only person who feels that way and Kev’s popularity and friendships made amongst us say more about him than my words of introduction could. But Kev is a top PUP and his name sits proudly on Ray’s signature. He’s also been very generous with his sponsoring of trophies and with his time in coming to support our presentations and other events. So PUPs we have a real star in charge this week so lets help him get another win that I know would mean so much to him. Mister Chops was so unlucky last week and Kev’s generous gesture of doubling the bet so nearly paid off. If there’s any justice then the luck will be with us this week so let’s give Kev our best naps to work with. Don’t forget for your selection to be of any use it must be listed on Bet365 and played on Saturday/Sunday/Monday. Those of you who entered and keep an eye on the Canary Challenge will know that one of our PUPs is having a really good season. For those who don’t see on Facebook I can tell you that he’s very shy and humility personified about this but we need to get behind him because if PUPTilly wins the Canary Challenge the money won goes to Rays Funds. Here are the current standings and thanks to Kathy for keeping this excellent competition running : - Canary Challenge latest results So now I’ll hand the thread over to Leeds Canary. Remember there’s no pressure because we are all going to be doing our best to help you get x2 by your name in the Rays Funds Hall of Fame. We all stand together with the single aim of raising money for our great clubs academy. Good luck all you PUPs... Take it away Kev ... the Rays Funds Thread is yours....... [:)].... As always I leave you with Rays signature which now reads : - Carve their names with pride.Yankee,4,Fellas,3,P''boro,2,Mr Chops,2,NewYork, Inch High,3, Blahblahblah, NCFC_Shaun, 1st Wazzock,3, Fonejacker,3, Norfolkbroadslim, Norfolkchance1, Scooby,3, Trent Canary, Cosmic Twin, Graham Humphrey, Leedscanary, NcfcStar, Herman, Delia’s Devonshire Dirtbox, Lappinitup, Statto, Mandie Moo, Mr Bump, Kathy, Til1010 yes Norfolkchance1 £1897 for the Academy,so far.
