One week to go - and then there were two!

 Last week's top three became this week's top two when Francis McCrossin's team came up against Team Peat. Losing five at the first end was the wrong start for Francis and, although they scored four at the last, they finished up losing by 10 shots to 6.

Ronnie Wilson and David Gray still share top spot, with 13 points each.  Ronnie stays in top position with a victory over Peter Reynolds by 9 shots to 4, but David is also on that mark. However, he has only won 34 ends to Ronnie's 39. David's team started well with a four at end one but promptly gave up four at end 2. It stayed close against Ken Ross but David finished on top by 8 shots to 7.

Final games in the league are next week. David Gray plays Francis McCrossin.  The two Ronnies go head to head and Ken Ross plays Peter Reynolds.  All to play for!

It's very close (at the top!)

 A win for David Gray over Ronnie Wilson, coupled with a loss for Frances McCrossin leaves the top three teams separated by only one point.

Ronnie Wilson's team remain top of the league with 11 points, but he only leads David by 4 ends. Frances is only one point behind, but has scored two more ends. It promises to be a very close finish, with only two games left.

Ernest Mutter was skipping for Ken Ross and led by 5 shots after 4 ends. Frances fought back to be only one shot behind playing the last, but Ernest held hid nerve to score a single point and win 7-5.

David Gray was also leading by 5 shots, in his case after 5 ends.  Ronnie Wilson scored singles at each of the last three but ultimately also lost 5-7.

Peter Reynolds played solidly and a score of 4 at the 6th end made sure of an 8-2 victory over Ronnie Peat.

Francis's team are on form

 We mentioned an 18-1 win for Francis McCrossin last week and he had another excellent performance tonight.  A good start usually helps and Francis scored 4 at the first end against the previously unbeaten Wilson team. He followed that up with scores of 1 at the next three ends before Ronnie scored a shot.

There was no comeback, however, and Frances eventually won 12 -1. 

David Gray also started by losing a shot at each of the first three ends.  However, from end 4 onwards he put the foot down and eventuall won by 7 shots to 3.

Ronnie Peat and Ken Ross had a close game.  They were tied at 3 shots each after 3 ends but Ronnie scored 8 more shots against Ken's 4 to win by 11 shots to 7. I really must repeat that.  Ronnie's team won by 11 shots to 7. 

Hallelujah!  The table is here. 

Ronnie Wilson now 3 points clear at the top

 Francis didn't want to be the headline tonight so we'll continue to highlight the league leader Ronnie Wilson.  Ronnie's team have only dropped one point and continued to impress with a 9-4 victory over Ken Ross.

Ronnie Peat's team contimue not to impress and stay on zero points, having been well beaten by David Gray.

Oh, and Francis won by18 shots to one against Peter Reynolds.

Ronnie Wilson's Unbeaten Run Continues

League leader Ronnie Wilson continued his run of form, beating bottom team Ronnie Peat by 13 points to 8 in a high scoring game. Tied 3 all after 3 ends Ronnie (W) then scored 3, 4 and 5.  Briefly pegged back when Ronnie (P) took a 5 at the next end, Ronnie (W) held on easily to win.

Second place is still held by Ken Ross, whose team scored well to beat Peter Reynolds by 12 shots to 6.

The thrid game was indeed a close finish. Francis was leading by 8 shots to 4, playing the last end. Unfortunately he lost 5 shots and the game by 9-8.
