Wiggy 180 have certainly made a big impression in the first two weeks of the Pip Club League season. Playing in division two Wiggy 180 kicked off their campaign by handing out an 8-0 whitewash to local rivals Wigginton and have followed that up in the best possible way by returning from their travels to Red Lion ’B’ with yet another 8-0 success under their belts. Nevertheless, despite such a tremendous opening two games Wiggy 180 are only top of the division on average from Winning Post who began their season with a 5-3 win over Red Lion ’B’ and won their latest encounter against Tamworth Snooker Centre 6-2.
In division one Dolphin lead the field a 5-3 home win over Red Lion ’A’ giving them a maximum four points and a one point lead over second placed Queens Head who could only manage a 4-4 draw as hosts to Glascote Club.
