The February junior leagues are now up and they show some historic viewing. Joe Dale, Michael Jones and Sam Hill are missing for the first time and that’s for the excellent news that they are all well established in the senior leagues now.

This of course blows the title race wide open for the top three places all of which are trophy-linked. If this had happened last month, Greg Wass would table-topping but Emily McSorley has had a strong month and takes the mantle. Jack Kerr in his first season is handily positioned too but there is still plenty of time for Andrew Pollard, Scott Hanson, Jamie Bulman, Ted Shepherd or Conor Askins to seize third, second or even top spot. Onward to March..
