After completing 41 of the scheduled 42 fixtures the title in the Winmau Thursday Night Champions League is going down to the wire as Mick Baker, champion for the past two seasons and Sam Guest are tied on 226 points and have exactly the same average. On paper Baker has the easier of the two games as his remaining game is against ninth in the table Chris Fox while Guest will take on Chris Williams who is currently fourth but could mathematically take third place as he has two games in hand on Louis Burley who is currently third but has completed his programme and with 221 points is ten ahead of Williams, however Williams has the opportunity of adding a maximum of 14 points with his games in hand. So the questions remaining are can Baker make a hat trick of wins and can Williams steal third place?
