League News
At the end of the first half of the season in the Premier Division there is nothing between Cheshunt B and HRC A, both on 46 points after six matches. Cheshunt B have won their last three matches, all by the same scoreline 8-2 but Premier Division champions HRC A have only dropped two points in their last three matches. Water lane A are third, six points behind and cannot be discounted having already beaten HRC A 6-4 and losing to Cheshunt B by the same score. At the bottom, Cheshunt A and Grundy park B also have the same number of points, Cheshunt A having suffered three 10-0 defeats in their last four matches.
In Division 1, John Pope has lost one from fifteen as Cheshunt D lead HRC C by four points having played one match less. Adam Lamy won all three games for Cheshunt C as they went down 7-3 to Water Lane B who are 13 points behind HRC C but have two matches in hand, one of five teams from third to seventh separated by just four points. St Andrews A are bottom, already eleven points adrift.
In Division 2, Pramastars A lead, six points ahead of HRC D. Barry Waterman & Steve Hooker took the fifth game 11-9 to clinch a 6-4 win for HRC D at St Andrews B and they stay a point ahead of both Aston and Water Lane C. Mike Shakespeare & Steve Prince are both unbeaten and four consecutive victories have moved Aston into contention. Water Lane C came from 5-0 down to draw 5-5 at Pramastars A. Despite Colin Smith & Teresa Savage winning the doubles 12-10 in the fifth, Furneux Pelham were beaten 6-4 by Aston and remain bottom.
At the halfway stage there are six matches outstanding which will hopefully (!) be played in the weeks after Christmas.

Handicap Cup News
The draw for the handicap cup is on the Cup News page. All handicaps have now been allocated. Anybody now shown with a 99 handicap has played no matches this season and cannot therefore be allocated a handicap.
As in all cups, a player can only represent the team that they first play for in the cup. If you are registered in a lower team and your first match in the competition is for a higher team you can only play for the higher team in subsequent rounds, you cannot revert to your original team for future rounds.
