The East Devon and District Short Mat Bowls Evening League Division One title race looks like going down to the wire.

Just two points separate the top three teams with Sidbury A and Uffculme both having banked 22 points – though Sidbury A have played one game fewer than Uffculme. In third place, also with a game in hand on the second placed side, are Seaton.

Upottery are the ‘best of the rest’ with 17 points from 15 games so far.

In the Afternoon League, Division One, Upottery hold a two point lead, and they have played a game fewer than second placed Sidford Blue.

In Division Two it’s also tight, though Seaton, who sport the leagues one last remaining season-long unbeaten record, look to be in pole position as they share the same number of points as current leaders Hemyock who have played two games more than them.
