Midlands Minileague - March 2015

Steve Lyon jumps from 10th to top in the Midlands Comparative minileague with a 19% gain in March. Andy Sims climbs a place into second spot at Boultham Mere with Lesser Spotted Woodpeckers and Whooper swans aiding his cause whilst Dave Roberts joins fellow Marston patcher Steve in the top three. Last months top two, Tom Shields and Sam Pitt Miller slide into the relative obscurity of 4th and 5th place.

Excel has decided that John Hopper is in first place but in reality the top two are tied and it looks like being a close race between Ian Cowgill at Lound and John at Hoveringham. Both are 17 points clear of Nick Crouch and Andy Mackay who are in joint third. With 41 competitors there is plenty to play for as a handful of points can propel you up the table with great rapidity. Now if only there were a few bonus points to add it would shake things up a little...

Best bits this month in lieu of bonus point scorers were early Garganey, wandering Red Kite, Avocets and some of the winter stuff leaving such as Jack Snipe and Whoopers.
