Sharing the lead
As at the start of this week, there are some unusual features in both the Suffolk League and the Bury Area League.
In all three divisions of the Suffolk League, the lead is shared by two teams. In Division 1, Ipswich C and Bury St Edmunds C have both scored 9½ points from four matches. In Division 2, Sudbury and Ipswich D have scored 10½ points from four matches. And in Division 3, Ipswich E and Ipswich F are equal on 11 points from four matches. Also, in all three divisions, several other teams are very close behind, making this season one of the most closely fought in recent memory.
Meanwhile, over in the Bury Area League, there’s a ‘first’. Linton’s three teams are all heading their respective divisions. Linton A lead Division 1, Linton Blacks Division 2, and Linton Whites Division 3. Between their three teams Linton have played 11 matches, winning 10 and drawing one. Not a bad start to the season!
