TWO-WAY TIE AT TOP OF LEAGUE

The top three teams all came out of Week 16 with big wins – the Auld Hoose leading the way with a thumping demolition (9 – 0) of the County ‘A’. The Rugby Club ‘A’ met the Castle Inn at home, winning 8 – 1 whilst Aberlady BC achieved the same margin of victory over the Quarterdeck. East Linton BC also achieved a win, this by 7 – 2 over the Golfers Rest ‘A’. Whilst the top four won fairly comfortably fifth placed, Rugby Club O50 had to pull out all the stops to gain victory by the narrowest of margins (5 – 4) over a spirited Legion side. The Rugby Club ‘B’ took maximum points with a 9 – 0 thumping of bottom team, the County Cola Cubes. Finally in Week 16 the Dalrymple won a close one (5 – 4) at the Golfers Rest ‘B’. All this means that we now have the Auld Hoose and the Rugby Club ‘A’ in joint top position on 120 points each. Aberlady BC stay just about in touch on 109 points with East Linton next best on 93 points. With respect to all the other teams it looks even at this early stage as if it could be a two horse race for the title with only Aberlady looking to have a realistic outside chance of catching the top two.
