The stars yesterday were Derby A who won their match 20-0 and now have a total of 69 with a match in hand.  EM White continue to lead the whole competition from the top with 132, pursued forlornly by British Rail on 91.

In Division 4, Allestree Blue lead with 82, followed by Markeaton on 72.  Allestree Blue also have a match to play, so are currently the favourites to win the league.

The League positions are a bit confusing with some teams having 1, 2 or 3 matches to play. The 1st team are leading but with each of their nearest rivals having an extra match they are likely to be overtaken. The 2nd team are the holders of the Porter Cup, but are unlikley to repeat their success. However, the 3rd team are in a very good position to win the Markham Trophy.

Last Night's Teams of Eight

Another disaster last night when 11 matches were postponed due to the weather.  I am leaving it to captains to decide for themselves whether it is fit for them or their opponents to travel.

In Division 1, East Midlands White had their worst result this season by beating British Rail A 16 -4, but they continue to dominate the competition and have dropped only 5 vps.  The real battle is for second place.

Rolls Royce should be congratuated for being prepared to field 3 teams last night.  Only 2 of their matches were played, however,with disappointing results.  Their B team were held to an 11-9 win by the less experienced Derby E team, and Allestree Green had a resounding 15-5 win against their C team.

A possible date for rearranged matches is next Wednesday January 20th.  This is the date for the National Pairs Qualifying heat at Spondon which must take precedence if players wish to compete in this event.  If your own premises are not available, matches can be accommodated at Spondon.
