After a really close match between Earls Barton and Ath 'B' last night, things are about as tight as they get at the top of the league table! Only the differences in team stats now separate 1st and 2nd place. Well done to the shooters listed (right). All managed to break the 45 point barrier last night - with particularly solid shooting from Nicola & Kevin. Enjoy the night off next Friday - then it’s full steam forwards to the final shooting night of the month on November 29th.
