RUGBY ‘A’ REMAIN TOP – AULD HOOSE CLOSE GAP TO THREE POINTS

With two matches to go the destination of this season’s League title remains in the balance with the Rugby Club ‘A’ currently three points to the good after Week 24s results. The leaders had an excellent 6 – 3 win, at home, over third placers Aberlady BC whilst the Auld Hoose made up one point with a home win over the Dalrymple by 7 – 2. East Linton BC had a convincing 7 – 2 victory over a recently lacklustre Rugby Club O50 team to ensure that they now cannot finish any lower than 4th place. The Golfers Rest ‘A’ continued their good run of form with a 9 – 0 thrashing of bottom team, the County Cola Cubes – this puts them well within striking distance of a fifth place finish. The County ‘A’ now look to be safely ensconced in the top half of the table following a 7 – 2 win over the Rugby Club ‘B’. The Castle Inn made it eight wins for the season with a narrow 5 – 4 verdict over the Golfers Rest ‘B’. The Quarterdeck had their first win in a while with a convincing 7 – 2 home victory over the Legion. Week 25 could be the decisive point of the League season with the top two clashing at the Auld Hoose – with the Auld Hoose needing to win to realistically remain in the hunt for the title.

Another two maximums this week to take the seasonal tally to 52. WELL DONE to Alan Naylor (Rugby ‘A’) who posted his third 180 of the season and to Gary Hands (Legion) who posted his first. Is anyone going to catch “Burnie” before the end of the season??

WELL DONE to the Rugby Club ‘A’ who came out on top in the final of the League Knockout Competition – defeating East Linton BC by a convincing 6 games to 1.

ALL TEAMS ARE REMINDED that any League Trophies they currently hold are to be handed in to the Committee as soon as possible so that arrangements for engraving can be finalised.
