Team Nine still lead the way after eight cards in the Pauls Butchers Spring League Qualifying, however their lead has now been reduced to four points from Team Seven with two rounds left to play.
Team Nine, Stephen Radclifffe, Paul Maxwell, Stephen Moran and Niall Cassidy have accumulated 567 points from their six best cards and hold a four point lead with two rounds to play, and with the teams now dropping their lowest scores the top eight qualifying teams will certainly not be identified until all ten rounds are played, such is the very competitive and close nature of the competition.
