Reigning Champions Broken Hearts go into the Christmas break on top of the table, with a convincing win, including a full house bonus, over Waterloo Sunset. However closest rivals Nomads lost ground as they were held to a draw by Old Itonians. Nomads have a game in hand, and the top two clash in the first game of 2009. Allsorts continued their good run with a clear victory over Barb to stay third, although Barb gained some comfort from a full house bonus. Gray Monks recorded their second win of the season by beating Pineapple, but remain in bottom place. Congratulations to Jesse Honey, whose 21 points was not only the best in the Division, but also included a full house.
Pericardium march on at the top of Division II, with a comprehensive victory over Wharfside, also earning a full house bonus. A three-man Ovalytes were too strong for London Scottish, and stay in third place. A point behind in fourth are Rosslyn Park, pulled away from Accrington Cylindricals after a close first half. After no tied matches in the first 10 weeks of the season, there were two this week, as Telstars and Mealy Bugs shared the honours. However Telstars did gain a full house bonus. Best score of the night went to Nic Paul of Pericardium, with an impressive 27 points.
As we enter the mid-season break, Division I seems to be between Broken Hearts and Nomads - much will depend on their meeting on 6 January, but Broken Hearts must be slight favourites to make it a hat trick of League titles. Allsorts are in good form, but probably have too much to do after their poor start to the season, while Atletico and Old Itonians seem destined for mid-table safety. Despite their win this week, Gray Monks must be favourites for relegation, with any one of Barb, Pineapple and Waterloo Sunset likely to join them. Pericardium seem unstoppable at the top of Division II, with Belly well placed to take the second promotion slot. However Ovalytes and Rosslyn Park must still have hopes of promotion. London Scottish are the only team still without a win, and currently sit in the wooden spoon position. The remaining sides, Accrington Cylindricals, Mealy Bugs, Telstars and Wharfside, have all enjoyed mixed fortunes, but everyone will no doubt be looking to improve in 2009.
