At the time of going to print the Winmau Centre’s Thursday Night Champions League is up to week nineteen and in that week there were mixed fortunes for leader Kevin Harris as after a 6-1 win over Mark Bayliss he went down 4-3 to fourth in the table Robert Pierce, however he remains in pole position on 101 points from 19 games.

Second in the table Louis Burley took a notable scalp the previous week when he beat defending champion Mick Baker 5-2 and in his latest fixture his 7-0 success against Martin East has taken his points tally to 92 just nine short of Harris but with three games in hand, three games that could in theory net him 21 points.

Mick Baker is currently third with 82 points from 16 games his latest encounter saw him beat Craig Capewell 7-0, however Mick is now ten points behind Burley and having played the same number of games and despite having the same three games in hand on Harris is nineteen points off the top.
