Updated 12 May

There are the various competitions over the next ten Wednesdays, all details are on the Competitions and Other Comps pages.

7 May - We finish the 2024-25 season with the Wednesday Team Cup Final as usual. Horse & Groom B will be looking to add the Cup to the League title whilst Clifton Inn will be fighting for the honour of Division Two. Should be a good match.

• 9.00pm - Groom B obviously wanted an early night as they have finished the match in under an hour, 4-0 to the Groom without dropping a leg, congratulations to them on their "Double". Unfortunate for the Clifton that their opposition was in such fine form tonight.
• That's it for the 24-25 season. Again, many thanks to everyone for taking part. We should be back in the Autumn with forms available from mid August probably. Keep an eye on the website, although they will probably be emailed out to existing contacts as soon as they are ready.
  We now commence ten weeks of competitions, but if you are not taking part in any of that, have an extra long break and hopefully we will see you all after the summer hols.

2 May - The venue for next Wednesday's Cup Final is confirmed as Allstars.

1 May - We have finally received the missing result from last night so can wrap up this league season. Devon Yeoman have beaten Allstars Uni 5-2 and stay seventh with Allstars Uni doing just enough to finish eighth in a tight lower portion of the table.

The Cup final is this coming Wednesday to round off the 2024-25 campaign before we have a few weeks of competitions then a good rest. We hope you have all enjoyed this season (withdrawals excepted) and will be back in the autumn to do battle again.

30 April - Round 22 and the final matches of the league season. Div 1, and Allstars Z need one point to secure second whilst Lucombe B need a good win over them to possibly take third. Groom J aren't far behind Lucombe so could benefit from a good win. Still tight at the bottom as any of the bottom five could possibly to go down.

Div 2, and it's the first to four for both of the top pair in their clash tonight whilst Star Inn will be hoping Lucombe A can score well against Seven Stars so they keep third. Clifton Inn stay fifth regardless in their match with Heavitree Social A who will be looking to move away from eighth.

• 9.55pm - First result in with Groom B beating Heavitree Social B by 7-0 to go thirty five points ahead for the time being.
• 10.20pm - Two more Div 1 results in and Allstars Z have confirmed second spot despite losing 4-3 to Lucombe Oak B. Heart of Oak B have come out on top of their derby match with Oak A, 5-2, in a match where six of the games went to three frames. This lifts Oak B out of the drop zone for now.
• 11.00pm - Div 2 and Allstars S have edged out Jubilee 4-3 to take the title whilst Seven Stars did just enough to get third with a 6-1 win over Lucombe Oak A. Heavitree Social A did just enough to move up to seventh.
• Div 1 and Clifton Wanderers lost 4-3 to Groom J and stay bottom just below Heavitree Social A whilst Groom J fail to close on Lucombe B. Allstars C beat Yeoman T 5-2 to consolidate third. Just the University v Yeoman to go.

24 April - Both missing results in this morning with Devon Yeoman just edging out Heart of Oak B in a tight 4-3 battle whilst Heavitree Social B beat Clifton Wanderers by the same score.

23 April - It's the penultimate matches for most teams tonight with Allstars Z meeting Allstars C in a clash which could go some way towards settling second place in Division One. Lucombe B will be looking to close in on those two. All still to play for at the bottom.

In Division Two, four matches tonight although Green Gables, Heart of Oak C and Star Inn play their final matches. Allstars S and Jubilee will be trying to pile on the points before their meeting next week.

• 10.05pm - A few results in and the clashes between places 2-5 in Div 1 have left Allstars C probably too far adrift of Allstars Z despite their 5-2 win whilst Groom J have closed on Lucombe B after their 5-2 win over them. In Div 2, Jubileee have notched up a 6-1 win over Heavitree Social A to take the lead for now.
• 10.20pm - In their fifth 4-3 match of the season, Groom B have finally gone down, losing to Allstars Uni who move up a couple of places for now.
• 10.40pm - Two more Div 2 results in and Star Inn and Green Gables end up 4-3 in their final match of the season whilst Clifton Inn beat Heart of Oak C 5-2 to cement fifth place.
• 11.25pm - Final Div 2 result in and Allstars S have a two point lead going into the final match after a 5-2 win over Lucombe A. In Div 1, Heart of Oak A have beaten Yeoman T 6-1.

16 April - Div 1 - Groom B could wrap things up this evening although it will depend on what the two Heart of Oak teams do tonight. The bottom two are meeting so there could be a change there.

Div 2 - Jubilee Club will be looking to close on Allstars S as the latter have the Bye tonight whilst Seven Stars will be looking to do the same with Star Inn.

• 9.30pm - Heart of Oak A have beaten Allstars Z 4-3 so Groom B need to pick up three points tonight to be uncatchable.
• 9.45pm - Div 2 and Seven Stars have also won 4-3 against Green Gables. This is not quite enough to take them back up to third place though whilst Gables are up a place for now.
• 10.30pm - Another three Div 1 results in which have not altered any league placings but a 6-1 win for Groom B puts them 24 points clear with 18 to play for, so congrats to them. Groom J have closed in on the top four with their 6-1 win.
• 11.00pm - Div 2 and Jubilee Club have pulled a few points back on the leaders with a 5-2 win over Lucombe Oak A, 11-8 on legs so a closer match than it looks. Still only one change to either table and that is probably temporary.
• 11.45pm - To of the three missing results in with Clifton Wanderers anchored to the bottom of Div by, losing 6-1 to Allstars Uni whilst Heart of Oak C beat Heavitree Social A 5-2 in their lower Div 2 clash. Just the Yeoman derby result to come.
• early am - Final result is in and Yeoman T have beaten the Yeoman 5-2 to close up to the Yeoman in the table (both on 75 points). Allstars Uni climbing up two places was the only change to the table tonight.

10 April - 7.00am and one of the missing scores is in with Allstars Z getting one point back on the leaders with a 5-2 win over Devon Yeoman.

PM and I am back to see that Allstars Uni have beaten Heavitree Social 6-1 to lift themselves off the bottom.

9 April - Four matches to go and Horse & Groom B looking pretty safe at the top of Div 1. The next three meet amongst each other a few times so that may influence second.

In Division Two, the top four are all close and for each, it will be very much a case case of making the most of when any other of them have a Bye. It could well go down to the final week.

• 9.50pm - A couple of results in and Groom B have had a narrow 4-3 win over Yeoman T to edge closer to the title. In Div 2 Jubilee Club have beaten Heart of Oak C 5-2 to close to one point, though Allstars S are still playing.
• 10.30pm - Lucombe B have slipped up and lost 3-4 to Heart of Oak A with slight, though probably temporary, changes to the table.
• 10.50pm - Another 4-3 in Div 1 with Allstars C pulling a bit further clear of Lucombe B. In Div 2, Star Inn have beaten Clifton Inn 6-1 to take third spot, although they only have one more match to play now.
• 11.20pm - Final Div 1 result in and Allstars S have extended their lead to ten points with a 7-0 over Green Gables although they have played one more match (and have a Bye next week).
• Midnight - Clifton Wanderers add another 4-3 to the list tonight with a win in their lower table clash with Heart of Oak B.

2 April - A bit of a break for the Cup semis and the Plate final tonight.

Allstars Z face Horse & Groom B for the second week running and will be hoping to do better than their league meetings. The other semi and the Plate final are inter-divisional but look like they will both be close matches.

• Late pm - Heavitree Social B have beaten Star Inn in the final of the Plate although the score doesn't reflect the fact that each game went to three frames.
• Meanwhile - In the Cup, Horse & Groom B have maintained their record over Allstars Z with a 4-1 win whilst Lucombe Oak B finally went down to the Clifton Inn in a hard fought three frame final game.

26 March - Match eighteen tonight, with the top two in Division One meeting for the first of two battles as they have each other in the Cup next week. Third and fourth will be hoping they can close in a bit.
Division Two and the top pair both have a Bye so Star Inn will be hoping Seven Stars and Clifton Inn meeting will help them. Bottom two meet in the St Thomas derby.

• 10.10pm - First few results are in and Groom B are now twenty points ahead with their 5-2 win over Allstars Z. Div 2 and Seven Stars have edged Clifton Inn 4-3 to close on the top two (pity they have the Bye next time). Green Gables are off the bottom with their 6-1 win over Lucombe Oak A.
• 10.35pm - Couple more Div 1 results with Allstars C making third spot safe with a 4-3 win over Heart of Oak A whilst Groom J beat Allstars Uni by the same margin.
• 11.10pm - Final Div 2 result in and Star Inn have warmed up for the Plate Final next week, beating Heavitree Social A 7-0, which closes them up to one point behind third although they have played 14, as have Seven Stars (3rd).
• 11.305pm - Another Div 1 4-3 with Heavitree Social B edging out Heart of Oak B whilst Lucombe B have beaten Devon Yeoman 5-2 to leave the top six as they were.
• 12.25am - Last result in, tables done. Yeoman T beat Clifton Wanderers with the fourth 4-3 of the division and creep up one place.

19 March - Six matches to go and both leading pairs are comfortably ahead although the Division Two situation may change with the various Byes coming up, especially with leaders Jubilee Club not playing tonight.

• 10.00pm - First few results in and Groom B have taken a close match with Lucombe B to stay well top of Div 1. Div 2 and Seven Stars have a 5-2 win to move to third for the time being.
• 10.15pm - Clifton Inn have not assisted Jubilee Club tonight going down 7-0 at Allstars S, who lead by eight but have played one more. In Div 1, Allstars C are third with their 6-1 win over Devon Yeoman.
• 10.55pm - Final Div 2 result in and Heart of Oak C have thumped Star Inn 6-1, closing them up on the top pack and leaving Allstars C third. In Div 1, bottom club Clifton Wanderers narrowly beat Allstars Z whilst Groom J had good win to close in on the top pack. Yeoman T kept up their resurgence with a 5-2 win at Heavitree Social.
• 11.20pm - Final result in with Heart of Oak B putting Allstars Uni on the bottom for now, and creeping back above Yeoman T.

12 March - Ship & Pelican have informed us that they have withdrawn from the League due to a lack of players able to attend matches. Tables and fixtures will be adjusted later. They had the Bye tonight so it doesn't affect any other team this week.

• Midday and Black Horse have also withdrawn. Still trying to do all the alterations.
• 2.00pm - Table updated with only one change of position, Lucombe A and Green Gables swap, whilst Allstars S and Jubilee Club are now separated at the top by "legs won".
• 9.30pm - First result is in with Seven Stars making the most of their trip to Heart of Oak with a 4-3 win over the C team.
• 10.05pm - Div 1 and Groom B continue their relentless march with a 5-2 win over third place Allstars C whilst Jubilee have a 5-2 win in Div 2 to take top spot for now at least.
• 10.25pm - All the Div 2 result in now and Jubilee have a one point advantage at the top as Allstars S could only win 4-3 at Heavitree Social. Clifton Inn took the other match to leave Lucombe A three points above Green Gables at the bottom.
• 10.30pm - Allstars Z have beaten Heavitree Social 6-1 which reduces their deficit to twelve behind Groom D. No movement in that table yet tonight.
• 11.10pm - All results now in and Lucombe B have crept into third place in Div 1 with their 5-2 win over Clifton Wanderers. Yeoman T have managed a much needed win to consolidate their tenth spot with Allstars Uni remaining eleventh.

8 March - No result received for the Green Gables v Ship & Pelican match. Match marked as "unfulfilled" and both teams lose one "Games Won" (Rule 20).

6 March - Final Division One result in and Allstars Z are now 13 points adrift of Groom B whilst Allstars Uni have crept off the bottom, just! Yeoman T up to tenth by virtue of losing by less than the other two. Still awaiting the outstanding Div 2 score.

5 March - Match fifteen and can anyone catch the Division One top two this season? The adjusted Division Two table gives Allstars S a two point buffer over Jubilee Club though Jubilee are visiting third place Star Inn who beat Allstars a few weeks back.

• 9.55pm - Two results in with Groom B taking all nine points from Heart of Oak A to go twenty points clear for now. In Div 2 Seven stars have beaten Black Horse by the same margin to go third for the time being.
• 10.30pm - A couple more results in (including the correct Devon Yeoman/Groom J result). Allstars S nine points up at present (and staying top as Jubilee can only beat Star Inn 4-3).Lucombe A go down to Heavitree A just.
• 11.10 - Two results to come and minor movements in the tables so far tonight with the leaders in both consolidating their leads.

3 March - Division Two news. Whipton and Pinhoe Labour Club have withdrawn from the league. Please insert a Bye into the fixtures in their place. All league results involving them have been removed from the tables (luckily with little effect on the rankings).

26 February - Back to league action this week with match fourteen. Groom B will be looking to hold onto their lead over Allstars Z in Division One whilst in Two, Jubilee Club will need to reverse their result from the first half of the season to maintain their slim lead over Allstars S and Star Inn.

• 9.45pm - First result in and Groom D stay on top of Div 1 with a 7-0 demolition of Devon Yeoman.
• 9.50pm - As the last update was being sent, Clifton Inn have secured fourth in Div 2 for tonight with a 5-2 win over Green Gables who remain eleventh.
• 10.15pm - Couple more results in. Div 1 and Groom J sneak the win over Yeoman T whilst in Div 2, Seven Stars made the most of their trip to Star Inn with a 5-2 win.
• 10.50pm - Allstars C beat Heavitree Social B 5-2 to consolidate third in Div 1. More 5-2 results for Div 2 with Heavitree Social A beating Whipton & Pinhoe and Jubilee Club and Jubilee Club defeating Ship & Pelican by the same score to try to remain top. Lucombe A have beaten Heart of Oak C 4-3 to gain some useful points (but remain bottom).
• 11.30pm - All the Div 2 results in now with Allstars S getting the 6-1 result they needed at Black Horse to go top on legs-for. Seven Stars and Heart of Oak C swapped places further down the table. Still awaiting one Div 1 result which will mainly affect only the lower places unless Lucombe B get a 7-0.

19 February - Cup and Plate action tonight with the last eight of the Cup and the Plate semis. Nearly had the two table leaders meeting in the cup but one slipped off the top last week. Still could be six very tight matches though.

• 9.25pm - Groom D take a step nearer a league/cup double with their win over Allstars S.
• 10.05pm - More results in and Star Inn are the first of the Plate finalists with their 4-1 win over Lucombe A. Allstars Z and Lucombe B join Groom B in the next round of the Cup.
• 10.40pm - All Division One Plate match has ended with Heavitree Social B eventually coming out on top 4-3 against Allstars University.
• 11.00pm - Last result in and Clifton Inn have narrowly beaten Jubilee Club 4-3.

13 February - Final two Div 2 results in with Heart of Oak C winning a very tight match to move themselves up to fifth (on frames). Black Horse have beaten Lucombe A to move themselves above Green Gables down in the lower reaches. Not a good night for playing at home last night, only three wins out of twelve.

12 February - Match thirteen and Groom B will be looking to repeat their score against Groom J with Allstars Z hoping to do the same against Yeoman T in Division One.

• Division Two and the top eight are playing amongst themselves so could be tight there (there were three 4-3 scores in the first half of the season).
• 10.30pm - Div 1 and Groom B are comfortably still on top tonight with a 6-1 win. Heart of Oak B have won a close match with Lucombe B, taking it 4-3. Div 2 1nd Jubilee Club are on top for now after their 5-2 win.
• 10.50pm - Allstars Z won 5-2 but drop back another point at the top of Div 1. Allstars S up to third.
• 11.00pm Top of Div 2 and Star Inn have beaten Allstars S to move within four points of the new leaders, Jubilee Club.
• 11.40pm - All the Div one results in with a few movements tonight but still tight in a lot of the table. Only three home wins from ten matches so far tonight.

5 February - The start of the second half of the season tonight with most of the top six in Div 1 playing lower half opposition (except Groom J v Allstars Z). Div 2 has Allstars S v Seven Stars and Jubilee v Clifton which could shake up their top a bit, especially if the other top-six two win tonight

• 9.45pm - First two results in, one from each division.
• 10.10pm - Allstars Z have beaten Groom J 5-2 but Groom B beat Clifton Wanderers 6-1 to extend their lead at the top. Heart of Oak A continue their climb up the division. Allstars S maintain their Div 2 lead with a 6-1 win over Seven Stars.
• 10.30pm - Division Two and the top five look the same with Jubilee Club beating Clifton Inn 4-3 to keep second whilst Star Inn beat Lucombe A 6-1 to close on the top pair.
• 11.00pm - Heavitree Social B have narrowly beaten the Yeoman which keeps Div 1 looking quite like last week. Heart of Oak C have had a similar scoreline over Green Gables in Div 2. One result due from each division which will mainly sort the mid table places.
• 11.15pm 11.45pm - Final Div 1 result came in as I uploaded the last update with Lucombe B winning 5-2 and meaning there has been just a swapping of places near the bottom of the table tonight. Last Div 2 result did the same. Heavitree Social A beat Ship & Pelican and pull themselves up to ninth.

30 January - All but one of the missing results in now. In Division One, the top seven stayed put whilst Heart of Oak A leapt up three places to eighth. In Division Two, the top two swapped back as did seventh and eighth. The missing result will affect the bottom four only.

• Result in for the final Div 2 match with Green Gables taking a 6-1 win over Black Horse to move up to ninth.

29 January - Match 11 of 22 tonight with the top two in Division Two meeting with only one point separating them. The second and third teams clash in Division Two although Allstars Z will remain at least second regardless of the result.

• 10.30pm - Half the results in and some useful scores from some teams aiming to leap up the table (esp. Heart of Oak A).
• 10.45pm - Allstars S have beaten Jubilee Club 4-3 (2-1 last game) to take top spot in Div 2. Allstars Z have similarly beaten Lucombe Oak B 4-3 to remain six points behind Groom B in Div 1.

23 January - Final result now in and Ship & Pelican have beaten Black Horse 4-3 to move one place up the table.

22 January - Getting towards the end of January and we finally have some league pool! Division One and Groom B and Allstars Z will be looking to maintain their lead (at least they can keep an eye on each other tonight). Division Two, and the top two will hope to keep theirs too although Allstars S will hope Lucombe A are not too buoyed up after their Plate win last week. The next five are all close enough to pounce.

• 10.25pm - One home win out of seven so far tonight, with Allstars Z just edging Allstars C in the last game. Groom B creep a bit further ahead at the top of Div 1. Star Inn up to third in Div 2, for now at least.
• 11.00pm - Only two home wins so far tonight with two to go. Jubilee have crept just ahead of Allstars S in Div 2 whilst Lucombe B are still third in Div 1.
• 11.45pm - Last Div One result in with Heavitree Social taking a 4-3 at home to remain just above Clifton Inn Wanderers.

17 January - As stated on the main News page, we have to announce the passing of Kev Carver, someone who many of us elder ones played with and against thirty or so years back, and who was still playing up to a couple of years ago.
It has been requested that we hold a minute silence before the forthcoming Sunday and Wednesday matches to remember a player who will be sorely missed. We trust you will all be happy with this.

15 January - Second attempt at the Cup and Plate matches tonight. At least the weather is a lot better.

• 9.30pm and four 4-0 results in to add to last week's one result.
• 9.45pm - Two more 4-0 results in, one for the Plate.
• 10.15 - Getting into the closer matches now with the all Allstars clash ending with a 4-2 win for the Z team over the C team, but at 9 frames to 8.
• 10.30pm - Just waiting for two Plate results now as we have just had a second Plate and the last Cup scores in (both 4-2).
• 11.20pm - The penultimate Plate result is in with the fifth 4-2 of the various competitions to go with the six 4-0 scores.
• 11.50pm - Final result in with Lucombe Oak A coming from 2-0 down to beat Ship & Pelican 5-2 in the Plate.

8 January - First 2025 Wednesday matches tonight with the Team Cup and Plate, assuming we don't get snowed in! Severe weather is a justifiable reason to ask for a postponement although it should hopefully be clearing by this evening (if we get any).

• 17.30 - As the weather outside of Exeter means that hardly anything is shifting and people cannot get in or out, we have decided to postpone all matches tonight as we were likely to lose most anyway. Tonight's matches will be played next week with the rest of the season moving on one week to accommodate this.
• One match was played tonight as the players were all in place early. Jubilee Club have beaten Heart of Oak B at the Oak.

1 January - Happy New Year to you all, hope it's a good one all round.

25 December - Merry Christmas to you all!

19 December - Final result in this morning and Yeoman beat Yeoman T 4-3 in the last game to leave themselves in sixth place.

A couple of weeks off now for the festivities, hope you all have a nice time, I shall enjoy the rest!

18 December - The final matches of 2024 tonight, with the top two in Division One playing the bottom two whilst the Division Two leaders have a possible harder match ahead than the second place team.

Lucombe Oak A have become the second recipient of a deduction of one Game Won for non-submission of a result sheet for last week's match. Division Two table adjusted.

• 10.15pm - First few results in (strangely the Lucombe Oak A was first!) with Allstars S just holding top spot from the Jubilee Social Club in Div 2 whilst Groom J have risen up in Div 1 with Groom B presently 9 points clear at the top of Div 1. least
• 10.45pm - Just over half the results in and the top two in both divisions are still the same as last week, only just in one case.
• 11.15pm - Five out of ten results so far have been 4-3 although only one match was decided in the last game. A bit of shuffling in the second division with the Star Inn creeping into fourth place. Lucombe B are up to third in Div 1 with a 6-1 win over Allstars C. Still two results due including the Yeoman derby match.

12 December - Last two Div 2 results in and the win for Whipton & Pinhoe Labour Club over Lucombe A leaves the middle six unchanged, whilst Heavitree Social A have climbed off the bottom with their win over Black Horse, who they are now close behind.

11 December - The penultimate match of 2024 (and only a fortnight to Christmas!) with Groom B looking to maintain their lead over Allstars Z whilst the top four in Div 2 will want to pull away from each other a bit.

• 10.00pm -Heavitree Social B pick up six welcome points to hopefully continue their climb up Div 1 whilst Jubilee Club have take a useful eight in their quest to take Div 2 top spot. Seven Stars have beaten Ship & Pelican to make things interesting at the top too.
• 10.30pm - Division One has a familiar look at the top tonight with Groom B edging a further point ahead. Groom J up to fourth on matches won with Allstars C still third. Allstars S are just holding top spot in Div 2 with Jubilee Club just one point behind. Clifton Inn remain third for now, despite a rare loss which has let Star Inn close in on the top pack.
• 11.30pm - Last Division One result in with no changes at the bottom tonight.

10 December - Black Horse become the first recipient of a deduction of one Game Won for non-submission of a result sheet for last week's match. Division Two table adjusted.

6 December - Claim received for Allstars Uni v Groom J match. Groom J awarded 4-0/8-0.

5 December - Ship & Pelican have beaten Allstars S 4-3 in a tight match which has left Allstars just one point clear at the top, with Clifton Inn, Jubilee Club and Ship & Pelican all one point off of each other. Clifton Inn would be top if we were using the old points system with six wins. Still awaiting the two Division One results.

Clifton Inn Wanderers have beaten Devon Yeoman T to raise themselves off the bottom of Division One.

4 December - Match seven with the top two clashing in Division One tonight whilst it's 1st v 4th, 2nd v 5th and 3rd v 6th in the other division.

• 10.00pm - New leaders in Div 1 as Groom B beat Allstars X 5-2 whilst there will be a new bottom club in Div 2 as Lucombe Oak A narrowly beat Green Gables 4-3 to go above them.
• 10.30pm - Three more Div 2 results with Clifton Inn beating Seven Stars, Jubilee Club beating Whipton & Pinhoe convincingly and Star Inn leaving Heavitree Social on the bottom.
• 11.00pm - Top three in Division One confirmed this evening with the present 4th placed team nine points adrift. Allstars Uni were unable to raise a side tonight, still awaiting a possible claim on that match. One other result to come. In Division Two we are just awaiting Allstars S v Ship & Pelican to determine who will be top tonight, with both mathematically capable of doing so.

28 November - Final result in with Devon Yeoman beating Allstars C 4-3. This has resulted in no changes to the table, apart from the fact that Horse & Groom J have identical stats with Devon Yeoman so have technically climbed one place to 7th equal. With eight out of twelve matches finishing 4-3 last night it is not surprising that neither table changed much.

For anyone interested, if you haven't already found it, there is now a set of tables online calculated using the old system. This was started in weeks three and four when the tables were substantially different. Now the table rankings are almost the same with the new system showing, in Division Two, the advantage of a few high scoring wins.

27 November - Match six tonight and the top Division One teams will be looking to maintain their run. The top two clash in Division Two which could help the third placed side. The bottom three in both divisions may have a tough time this evening.

• 9.45pm - First result in and Whipton & Pinhoe Labour Club have closed in on the top (for now).
• 10.15pm - Couple of Div 1 results in and Groom B presently on top with Groom J up to fifth. Ship & Pelican now presently third in Div 2, collecting a useful 8 points.
• 10.50pm - Div 2 and Clifton Inn have ended Allstars S unbeaten run but still fall one place. Meanwhile, Allstars Z have crept back top of Div 1 with a 4-3 win.
• 11.45pm - Just two Div 1 scores still to come in. In Div 2, 2 and 3 swap as do 7 and 8, everybody else stays put.

21 November - Final result is in and Clifton Inn are up to second in Division Two with Whipton & Pinhoe Labour Club tightly behind them. Ship & Pelican back down to fourth.

Sorry for the delay updating today, have been working and it was a bit fun driving about delivering!

20 November - Match five and only five matches to Christmas! Second play third in both divisions tonight with both top teams likely to continue their form. Both bottom clubs will be hoping for their first win of the season.

• 10.00pm - First couple of Div 2 results in.
• 11.00pm - All but two results in, one from each division. Top three staying put in Division One although Allstars Z have pulled their lead out to three points. Allstars S well top of Division Two with second place still open depending on the missing result.
• 11.15pm - Final Div 1 result in and a lot of shuffling about in the table tonight with Horse & Groom J continuing their climb up the rankings. Heart of Oak sides not having a good night tonight.

14 November - Draws for Team Cup second round and Team Plate first round now on the fixtures and competitions pages.

13 November - A break tonight for the first round of the Cup with two all first division clashes, one all division two and five inter-division. Could well be a few lower division teams going through.

• 8.50pm - The first result is in with Lucombe B beating the Star Inn.
• 9.50pm - Four more results in now and the scores are getting a bit closer.
• 10.55pm - Final two results in with nine Div 1 teams and 7 Div 2 teams in the next round.
• If your score (legs) looks different to what you remember, they have been added up properly in a couple of instances.

6 November - Week four and tight in both divisions. Can anyone pull away before the Cup break next week?

Still awaiting a reply from one team about the incorrectly marked score from last week. We will go with the amended score (6-1/13-6 as opposed to 5-2/12-7) if we do not hear back by the start of play tonight. This will lift Whipton & Pinhoe Labour Club up to a very close second by virtue of legs scored.

• Nearly midnight and the updates are sorted. Better take the laptop next time I go out on a Wednesday (official business by the way)!

30 October - Week three and can anyone catch the Division One leading pair?

Division Two is a lot tighter although with the top three variously taking on the bottom three tonight, anything can happen there. In both divisions plenty of other teams are close enough that a good win could leap them up the table.

• 10.00pm - First three results in and all are narrow home victories.
• 10.30pm - Half the first division scores in now and all but one from Div 2. Still can't say if the table toppers will stay put tonight.
• 11.15pm - All scores now in and the top two remain in Division One whilst Division Two has the third different leader in three weeks (by frames won though).

• 10.30pm - After the initial good results for the away sides, some of the home teams have struck back to balance things out. Three results to go.
• 11.00pm - Just one result to go, tables being worked on.

7 October - We have now eliminated the Bye in Division Two with the addition of the Green Gables team. The (updated) fixture key now downloads properly as well!

27 September - Fixtures have been beaten into submission and are now online. You should receive an emailed copy soon.

From the AGM, for both Sunday and Wednesday league tables, there will now be one point per game won with the match winners getting an additional two points i.e. a 5-2 win will mean 7 points for the victors and 2 points to the losers. Match format will remain as before. (For those with long memories, this method of determining the table was last used up to Summer 2000).

26 September - The divisions have been confirmed as listed below. This was a three up/three down from last season. Hopefully we will return to two up/two down this season.

Matches will commence on Wednesday 16th October, full fixtures to follow asap.

Allstars C, Allstars Exeter University, Allstars Z, Clifton Inn Wanderers, Devon Yeoman, Devon Yeoman T, Heart of Oak A, Heart of Oak B, Heavitree Social Club B, Horse & Groom B, Horse & Groom J, Lucombe Oak B. (Clifton Inn Wanderers are the Wandering Stars from last season).

The Registration forms will be available later this week and will be sent out to all team contacts on our lists and anyone who has asked for one.

Wednesday matches will commence on either the 9th or 16th of October, depending on numbers. Hopefully we should have at least 24 teams again this winter, possibly more, although several teams may be operating in a different location from last year. We shall know more after September 18th.
