It looks to be between those three teams but team 6 will not give up just yet. They are in fourth place with 177 points. Dennis Watt, Albert Morrison, Colin McKinney and Philip Mallon are well capable of a few team scores over a hundred points. That’s what they need.

Round three should be interesting.
