Some significant matches have been played in the Winter Ladder this last week. The ladder has a new number 1 with Mike Fagan taking over from Ed Stockley. Further down the ladder last year’s winner, Steve James came a cropper for the second time in a week, losing 21-9 to Lol Wells. Highly fancied and in form Tim Dickinson also was stopped in his tracks by Ted Baker, who played a magnificent game to win 21-6. The biggest gainer was Chris ‘the Horse’ Horsfall, who kept galloping up the ladder with a fine 21-15 win over Chris Sandison.
