With finals on the horizon and only four league rounds remaining, every match is a crunch one no matter where you look on the table.

Players have little room for error with points at a premium. A win now for any player could mean a top eight spot for some, and for others a chance to solidify a top four position and guarantee themselves a finals berth in this seasons Premier League.

The perfect example of this was Alan Green on Sunday afternoon, who won both his catch-up matches at Mika by a score line of 7/0 over Jayden Lloyd, and later 7/3 over Aaron Paull.

Those four points launched Alan up the table to sixth and created a little bit of daylight between him and the players following closely behind.

There is a massive battle shaping up for seventh and eighth place between Aaron Paull, Seumas Rose and Kameron Reason who are currently only separated by 1 point! That’s a battle to keep an eye on.

Joe Wilson who was the last player to have a 100 per cent record in the league, lost it to a 7/3 defeat to Jamie Woods. Jamie Maher defeated Nathan O’Hara for the second week running to a 7/1 score line. And Jamie Woods won his second match of the day against Aaron Paull 7/4.

It couldn’t be closer at the top with leg difference the only thing that separates both Jamie Woods and Jamie Maher, with Joe Wilson only two points back with a game in hand.

And in the battle to avoid the Wooden Spoon, Ross Gallichan has a one-point advantage over Lorraine Woods.

With battles all over the place, the next few weeks are shaping up nicely!
