Congratulation to Villans who have taken both team league titles, Tuesday Morning and Wednesday evening. The icing on the cake was team member Paula Garrett also won the Single’s league title. President Win Kewley presented the trophies at the AGM on Friday evening.

The President also presented trophies to other league title winners; Simple minds won the Premier Pairs; Douglas Old Boys the First Division Pairs; Bowlistics take the triples league title and Dragons won the Friday Pairs.

After sitting in second place in the Copyshop Premier Pairs for most of the season Simple Minds timed the run in perfectly; taking both sets in their last match gave Minds the points needed to be declared champions. Third placed Dragons took the first set and denied Ayre Assassins the 2-set win they needed to win the championship.

Villans were declared Tuesday Team League champions, chased hard all season by Ramsey Raiders who finished in second and Onchan Royals in third place. In the First Division Pairs Douglas Old Boys took the title, with 1-in-4 in second and TOU in third place. Villans won the Wednesday Team League title with Simple Minds taking second, only one point behind. The Thursday evening Triples title was won by Bowlistics with Castletown Crofters in second and Optimists in third.  The Copyshop Friday Afternoon Pairs ended with Dragons taking the title, KT Sunshine Band in second and Top Dogs taking third. Thank you to our Sponsors the Copyshop.

With one more week to play no clear leaders have emerged to win the league titles, and in 3 of the leagues one point separate first and second place.
