The Handicap singles league is well under way with the prospect of an exciting finish in December. Current leader is Sean White on 27 points from Jamie Gentleman (25), Luke Goddard and Ray Lockington both 22 and Craig Pike on 21. Best placed lady is Charlotte Burgess (19) followed by Christine Pike on 14 but with many games outstanding there are likely changes ahead.
