The Out of Towners dominated the Lupines with a decisive 24-2 victory, securing their position at the top of the league standings. Billy Brett managed to secure the only two legs for the Lupines in an otherwise one-sided match. Town Central suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 20-6 to Arms A, although the result was insufficient for Arms A to overtake Town Central in the standings. Town Central has played one more match than their immediate competitors above and below them. Meanwhile, the Foreign Legion triumphed over Queen Charlotte with a 19-7 win.
Rob Hayes is yet to drop a leg and leads the Most Legs competition, sitting at the top with 10 legs. He is closely followed by Andy Harvey, Kev Parsons, and Colin Denyer, each with 9. Andy Harvey had an impressive performance, adding 16 tons to his total this week, and now has a commanding lead of 7 over his nearest competitors. Andy currently holds 25 after two games, with Graham Howard on 18 and both Kev Parsons and Rob Hayes on 17. Notably, Andy Jurd and Garth Hodgkiss were the only other players to reach double figures in the Tons competition this week, achieving 11 and 10 respectively.
Four ton-plus checkouts were recorded this week: Andy Harvey and David Moule both achieved 120, Rob Doran hit 116, and Andy Jurd reached 100. Wayne Morgan continues to lead this category with a checkout of 126. Andy Jurd also contributed two maximum scores and claimed the fastest leg of the week with a 13-darter, while David Moule added a commendable 15-darter. Chas Barstow remains at the top of both the 180s leaderboard with four and the Fastest Leg category with a 12-darter.
