Division 2 half-time round-up
All seven teams in Division 2 have now completed their six scheduled matches in the first half of the season.
This is the current table:
| Team | Played | Won | Drawn | Lost | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ipswich D | 6 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 15½ |
| Sudbury | 6 | 3 | 3 | 0 | 15 |
| Stowmarket A | 6 | 1 | 5 | 0 | 12½ |
| Bury St Edmunds A | 6 | 2 | 2 | 2 | 12 |
| Felixstowe A | 6 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 11½ |
| Clacton | 6 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 9 |
| Manningtree B | 6 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 8½ |
It’s all very tight at the top, with Ipswich D only half a point clear of the field. Five teams are within four points of each other. Both Sudbury and Stowmarket A are unbeaten, but of the 21 matches played so far, nine (43%) have been drawn.
At the other end of the table, it looks as if Clacton and Manningtree B will be fighting to avoid relegation, having only won one match between them.
Rob Sanders (Sudbury) is the only player with a 100% record, having won all four games played. Close behind him are Phil Hopkins (Felixstowe A) on 5½/6 and Martin Tomes (Ipswich D) on 4½/6.
A total of 54 players have represented the seven teams so far (exactly the same number as have played in Division 3):
Bury St Edmunds – 10
Felixstowe A – 9
Stowmarket A – 8
Manningtree B – 8
Clacton – 7
Ipswich D – 6
Sudbury – 6
Only two juniors have played in Division 2 so far this season – Alex Sheerin (Stowmarket) and William Moody (Bury St Edmunds).
