Michael Johnston moves to the top of the standings as a result of his win over Paul McDonnell on Tuesday night. This is a truly amazing feat considering that he played in the C Championship last year. With one match remaining against defending champion Pat Coleman, he can only dream of success. However, Pat has three matches to play and needs 2 points from 3 matches to retain the title. Don’t rule out a surprise as technically, there are 5 players still in the hunt?
