Outstanding Matches
In a postponed 1st Division League match, British Rail A beat British Rail B 17-3. That leaves only two outstanding matches - Derby A v Derby B in Division 1
and Burton B v Rolls Royce B in Division 4. The Derby 'derby' has been
conceded by Derby A who had to pull out at very short notice. The rules
say that Derby B will receive either their own average for the season
or the reciprocal of Derby A's matches, whichever is the higher. The Burton - Rolls Royce
encounter will be played shortly. The Division 2 league is very close
indeed at the top (see below). Sadly, East Midlands Green pulled out of the competition earlier this year and this means that it is likely that only one team in Division 3 will be relegated, while 2 teams should be promoted. Particular congratulations go to Ripley E, a new team who are leading Division 6 and indeed to all Division 6 players and captains many of whom are new to the game.
Positions at the halfway stage:-
- Division 1 East Midlands White (84 ) British Rail A (73)
- Division 2 Rolls Royce A (59) Matlock A (58) Ripley A (58) East Midlands Red (57)
- Division 3 Allestree Red 64, Belper Yellow 50
- Division 4 Allestree Blue (58) Burton B (57)
- Division 5 Burton A (69) Ringwood Green 68
- Division 6 Ripley E (56) Rolls Royce C (53)
