In the Honiton Skittle League, the battle to stay up in the top division has gone to the final round of games, writes Mark Panizzi.
f the five teams who could still be relegated, four play each other with the losers of the game between Con A and Vine A certain to face the drop!
Other permutations could result in a play-off to decide the second team to go down.
Meanwhile, there’s also a thrilling finish in Division Two with the second promotion spot still up for grabs heading into the final round of matches.
