With a total of 48 points on offer from every fixture and at the time of going to print only one fixture remains in the Winmau Centre Monday Night League and anyone of the top three teams are in with a chance of taking the title.
Is It In are the current leaders with a total of 588 points The Outcasts just three points behind them and the reigning champions 3 Yam Yams and A.Stokie (formerly What Are Thooose) third with 582 points. The final match night should be quite a tense evening.
With the season fast drawing to an end plans are already well advanced for the next season which will get underway on the 19th September, anyone interested in entering a team consisting of five players in the league for the new season or require any further information regarding the league should contact the Wolverhampton Indoor Community Sports Stadium on 01902-420827 or e-mail [email protected]

The Winmau Centre Thursday Night Champions League is hotting up and at the halfway stage the tile already looks as though it will go to one of the top three from a starting line up of twenty two players.
After completing 22 games Louis Burley leads the way with 122 points ten more than second placed and reigning champion Mick Baker who has played twenty one games.
Kevin Harris has lead the field for a large part of the season so far but in week twelve he lost a vital game 6-1 to Louis Burley to leave him third in the table on 102 points with two games in hand on Burley, two games which could net him a possible 14 points which would still see him trailing Burley by six. However there is still a long way to go and most certainly there will be further twists and turns before the champion is found.
