Bar 22 recorded their third 7 (8) – 0 triumph over the Queens Head and this gives them a 3 pint advantage over 2nd placed the Queen Inn, the ‘Inn’ gaining a 4 (5) – 3 victory away at Shaw Hall.

It is the first time that a team has won three consecutive fixtures 7 – 0 in this league, so congratulations to Bar 22!

The 22 club are in 3rd spot some 6 points behind the leaders at this early stage after a 4 (5) win over the Bridge. The Bridge are just a point behind ‘22’ in 4th spot.

The Farmers continued their abysmal spell with a 6 (7) – 1 thrashing by the Bridge Dogs, this match saw the Dogs winning 6 (7) – 1 meaning the Farmers are the only team yet to record a match victory.

The other match saw last seasons bottom team, the Railway, beat La Cantina A 5 (6) -2. So far, the Railway sit 5th in a much improved campaign for them.

Of course, once it becomes known, the result of the missing fixture could alter the league standings.

Finally Paul Judge from Bar 22 completed an 8 ball clearance last week, well done to him.

It’s a break from the league this week, we have the first round of the singles competition.
