Reigning champion Trevor Frost continues to lead the field in the Brook Meadow Individual Double Top League after a 3-0 win over Paul Sunner and despite following that with a 2-1 defeat to his nearest rival Jason Evans who is now three points adrift of Frost. In his other game against Dean McCauley, Evans also had a 3-0 win. Ross Macken did not play this week and as a result has dropped down the table to sixth position, however he now has two games in hand and 3-0 wins in those games would put him in pole position, two points ahead of Frost.
