Metro Competition team news

The Metro competition this year has been a huge success.

 

The first team appear to be finishing in very respectable third place in the first division this year. They have played all of their 18 matches and have 241 points, however Phoenix Fitness could beat them to third spot if they can manage to score 20 points from their two remaining games.

 

The second team have also managed a third place spot in division two with 176 points from a possible 14 matches.

 

It looks like the third team are set to win division three unless Rishworth can score 33 points from there two remaining games. If not Rishworth look set to steal second place from the fourth team, who looked almost certain to win promotion with a second place finish, but a slight dip in results since Christmas looks to have cost them.

 

The fifth team have also managed a very respectable second place in division four with 225 points from 16 games. The sixth team are a little behind in a healthy mid table position
