Wheeldon stretches standings lead

A MAN of the match performance for Sandiacre Town has strengthened Dan Wheeldon’s lead at the top of the Derbyshire Premier Division Player of the Year standings.

Ticknall’s Paul Borrington took a point to stay in second place, while Ockbrook & Borrowash’s Josh Lacey moved up to fourth.

Although this was the 19th week of the season, only five of the division’s 12 clubs have not got extra games to rearrange.

Umpires at each game award three, two and one points to players deemed most influential, with a £250 first prize awaiting the overall winner, £100 for second and £50 for third in the Finance Advice Centre-sponsored competition. LEADING SCORES, 22pts: Dan Wheeldon (Sandiacre). 19: Paul Borrington (Ticknall).

18: Paul Allen (Spondon).

16: Josh Lacey (Ockbrook).

15: Akhil Patel (Langley Mill).
