Congratulations to Hampshire who have crossed the line in their match with Somerset Wyvern. A really close battle sees Hampshire 23.5 -20.5 up with just two games to finish.

Steve Robinson has played for both Birmingham and Worcestershire.   His first game was for Birmingham so he is classed as Birmingham player for the rest of the season and points scored for Worcestershire are forfeited and results reversed. 

Somerset Wyvern have crossed the finishing line in their April match with Worcestershire.

 Hi,  Hants player Obone747 has had his account closed for fair play reasons.  The only match which this affects (as far as I can see) is the Somerset v Hants match.  The two points scored by obone747 are now awarded to Somerset which means they win the match 24-22.   The table has been changed to reflect this.

Staffs v Renfrewshire (April)

Somerset Wyvern have crossed the finishing line in their March match with Renfrewshire.

Connacht v Worcs finished 5-5 but Connacht awarded the win as multiple Worcs players have played for other teams this season and their points have been reversed - see Multi player forum.

Congratulations to Staffordshire who have inflicted Somerset's first defeat of the season ! 

Thanks

Somerset Wyvern cross the line in their final match against Connacht with a 7-3 lead (in a 6 board match). I think I'm right in saying that guarantees us our second promotion in successive seasons !
