This year’s league is kindly sponsored by Flynn’s Bar and is being played over 5 weeks, with the best 4 weekly scores counting for each team. That means the lowest week drops off, so no team is out of it yet and one big score can still change everything. At the top, Team 12 lead on 365 points, with Team 3 and Team 2 tied on 349, and Team 8 just behind on 348. It is very tight and the next 2 weeks will be crucial. Remember, there are prizes for both the winners and the runners-up, so there is plenty to play for right to the end. Keep the cards coming in and get out representing your team. One strong week could make all the difference.Congrats in round 2 Ladies winner Mary Blake 28pts. And Gents winner Stephen McGuinness 34pts.Also in round 3 The Ladies winner was Mary Blake 26pts.
