The last two weeks in the EKPL have had an immense impact on the league as a whole. The Hustlers now look certain to retain the title for a historic fifth time and third time straight. They ground out an 8-6 victory against Club 2000 while their fellow challengers dropped points in important games. The Entertainers could only scrape a draw with the Hotshots for the second week running, while the Flukesters had two bad trips to the Murray bar, losing the first 9-5 against the Murray, and drawing vs the Top Guns. The results see the reigning champions 6 points ahead of the field with a game in hand. While still a lot of pool still to be played, the title is surely the Hustlers to lose now.
Meanwhile the race for 4th is still hotly contested with the Hotshots pulling out another fantastic performance against the Entertainers, the Greenhills losing a closely fought battle against Club 2000, and the Murray and the Top Guns both pulling out excellent results against the Flukesters. This leaves Greenhills still in pole position, however their lead has been shortened to 1 point.
In the bottom 9, the Aces lead the way with back to back victories post split, now their fourth in a row, although the Sharpshooters are still chasing, just 4 points behind.
Westwood managed to heave themselves off the bottom of the table with a great result against the SS, coming back to draw the match 7-7, which now leaves them and Centre One tied at the bottom, however the Eagles loss to the SS last night leaves them dangerously close to the bottom only 3 points ahead of the bottom spot.
