In Division 1 Trinity Tavern “B” are in the lead on 18 points, 2 points clear of Wicor Mill “A”. Both teams have one match remaining, so a win for Wicor and trouble for Trinity could bring them down to the wire, as they only have a 4 point leg difference.
Wicor Mill will be facing Joe Paxton; they did not fare so well in their away game, so a home advantage might swing the results back.
Trinity Tavern go up against DOC Limes, and their previous matches have been close, but they have had the outcome in their favour each time. However, as the competition matches show, anything can happen, and DOC could sour the track record.
Division 2 is a Hill Park lead with both A and B teams on 16 points, 4 points ahead of the pack.
Hill Park “A” have the leg lead on 9 points, and will be up against the Jolly Miller, who beat them twice last season, but lost in their earlier round this year: so who knows which way that match will go.
Hill Park B have HMS Collingwood, who have come close each time in the last 3 matches, but Hill Park maintained the wins.
Whichever way the matches fall, both Hill Park teams have their dramatic head to head to end the season, which will decide the winner either way.
A three way lead in Division 3, also on 16 points with 4 clear for Portsbridge, Portchester SC and The Bugle Hotel. 6 legs separate the teams.
Portchester have the disadvantage of a bye in the last match, but in another stunning draw, Portsbridge and The Bugle also have a show-down in the last round, which should give a decisive finish. Portchester SC go up against the DOC Lions, and the last 3 rounds have been in Portchester’s pocket so we could expect more of the same.
Both Portsbridge and The Bugle have had prior wins over their oppositions too. Portsbridge played their match early against Golden Lion “A”, so that outcome is fixed – no spoilers here though (but if you know where to look you can find the results before the league table updates on Monday).
All in all, it’s very narrow margins as we clear our last 2 matches, and any of our games could upend the expected outcomes still!
