Results of 2008 Winter League 4

Another very busy league with 15 leagues and 92 players involved. However, once again a number of injuries took players out and so total games played was steady at 161.

The results of the league are here ..... 2008 Winter League 4

Some very competitive leagues again. League 5 was particularly close with places 3, 4 and 5 all on 25 points. Don't ask me to explain how I sorted that one out! The top 3 in league 7 were only separated by a point. Christy Looby showed signs of a return to form, edging promotion back to league 2, while Michael Scott was very decisive in bouncing back from injury to take league 4 with 5 straight wins. Other players gaining promotion with an unbeaten record were Ian Forbes, Andrew Claymore, David Gillespie (again), Darren Hall(again) and Ian Roberts(again!). Frances Reid-Rowland also made a decisive move out of the bottom league with 4 wins out of 5.

In the points tally, Andrew Claymore has jumped into the lead with 126 points, ahead of Alastair Ross (118) and Will Henderson (117). There are 4 players who have managed a maximum 20 games so far, but many more have a 100% record, when injuries are taken into account. Overall we have 31 players who have played at least 4 games in each of the first four leagues - great commitment to keeping the leagues active - well done!

We have a net increase of two players this time, with 8 new members coming in and 6 dropping out through injury or other reasons.

For those interested, here is the full set of new leagues ..... 2008 Winter League 5

This league is a great chance to sharpen up your squash and your fitness ahead of the club tournament in March. Good luck and enjoy your games!
