Hi Gordon. (30/8/11)

As far asI can seefrom a preliminary survey, Harriers win Swallows division with 12 points. There's a three-way tie for second place between Hobbies, Merlins and Buzzards, all on 10 points.

At this point I wasn't sure how you would want to work this out. In the football league I believe it goeson goal difference across all matches? In our Winter League I've always followed the precedent set in the 1940s and passed onto me by Billy, which is also the way in whichit's worked out in national events- i.e. just the sets difference between the three teams involved.

IfI do it on that basis Buzzards finish second. The ties work out the same between the three teams as all three matches were decided by a 3/2 score-line. SoI took it back to sets, as follows:

MERLINS v HOBBIES 8 sets to 11

MERLINS v BUZZARDS 9 sets to 8

HOBBIESv BUZZARDS 7sets to10

Thus – MERLINS have17 sets for and19 against - sets diff of -2

HOBBIES have18 sets for and 18 against - sets diff =0

BUZZARDS have18 sets for and16 against - sets diff of+2

If you want to work out as per the football system I'll gladly pass on the score-sheets!
