The ‘Draw Merchants’
Some players seem to be rather prone to drawing. These are the top ‘draw merchants’ in each division:
Division 1: Jim Buis (Manningtree) 6 games – 6 draws (!!)
Division 2: Stephen Pride (Bury St Edmunds) 7 games – 6 draws (!)
Division 3: Gary Hemsworth (Felixstowe) 9 games – 6 draws
These statistics are correct as of when?
