After the first three weeks of fixtures, five teams (22 Club, Bar 22, The Bridge, The Stanley Club and The Queen Inn) have amassed 17 points - there are rules in place to determine the overall winner if there is a tie at the end of the season.

The week's biggest winners were Bar 22 who recorded a 7 (8) nil hammering of one of the early pacesetters La Cantina A, though eye witnesses suggest the tie was closer than the result suggests...

The other big winners were 22 Club who beat the Bridge Dogs 6 (7) – 1, unfortunately ‘the dogs’ find themselves in last place at this early stage in the season; again, I was told the tie was closer than the result suggests.

All the other matches just had a frame in them, though with the winners’ bonus point resulted in the victors gaining 5 points and the losers 3.

La Cantina immediately turned around their poor result last time out with victory over Shaw Hall, it was the ‘B’ teams first win of the campaign. The Queens Head also turned the tide by defeating the Farmers for their first win.

The Farmers are one of two teams not to have seen a victory yet, they share this rather unwanted status with the ‘Dogs’.

The match between two of last season’s titans, The Queen Inn and the Bridge resulted in victory for the ‘Inn’ while the Railway lost at one of our new ‘kids on the block’ the Stanley Club.
