Despite this many feel that even at this early stage the league is a two horse race as Thatch and Sperrin Flights continue to win and keep a convincing four and five point gap over the chasers.

Player of the week this week goes to Villa Swifts player Davy Glenn who was once again on sensational form with legs in 14 and 18 darts as well as hitting a 180 and a 112 checkout. Besides this there were several other top performances from Villa Swifts players, William McKendry with legs in 18 and 19 darts, Gerald Dallas with 17 and 20 dart legs and Damian Norton who hit a 180 and a 102 checkout on his way to finishing legs in 19 and 21 darts.
