2008 Winter Season
Div1 Mike Sallis & Brian Osmond have seemingly come from nowhere to lead the division, making it a 3-horse race for the title with Ben/Brian & George/Ian. Looking at the half-match results, the favourites would appear to be George & Ian. And then also taking the half-match scores into account, relegation is a possibility for all remaining five pairs. Very exciting!
Div2 clearly looking much rosier now! And only 30VPs separate 2nd to 7th position, so again, all to play for in the final session.
Div3 Kevin New & John Godderidge continue their fine form to lead the division by some distance as well as rise to the top of the Doddy leaderboard. To be absolutely safe from relegation you need to finish in 6th place or better and scores are quite tight around there.
Div4 taking into account the half match, Graham Lightfoot & Jim Shoesmith and Derek Berks & Nigel Wain are clear favourites for promotion.
Div5 and similar to Div4, the two leading pairs Ann Ridgway & Alf Cowdrey and Pam Whitehead & Alan Dowdy have built up a cushion which should see them through the final couple of matches. But you can never be sure
