Paddy McDonnell will be champion barring an extraordinary series of results. He has a 100% win rate from 6 matches and a clear 2 point lead over his nearest rival. Realistically, only Alan Dee can catch him but he needs to win every match including his match against Paddy. If Paddy defeats Colm Sommerville in his next match, a draw against Alan will be enough to secure the title.
