If you mean did the pattern I'm trying to match: $team, contain what I though it 
should: 
'footballSat' then yes it did. I also receieve no error message from MySQl....

The string in the table field I can view/alter in phpMyAdmin and I've tried matching 
$team in the 
query to the string as: footballSatfootballSun (etc etc) and also as: footballSat 
footballSun (etc 
etc)..

Any ideas??
Many thanks.

Russ
