ESOC Leads the Inter-Club Championships after four rounds

The Edinburgh-based club is taking advantage of the early rounds of the championship being in their local area, and a large contingent of their members in regular action is racking up the points for their total. FVO remains in second place in the Large Clubs competition, and Interlopers has overtaken MAROC for third place.

In the Small Clubs division, ELO maintains its place at the top of the table, but it was a good weekend for Roxburgh Reivers as they closed ELO’s lead to within 4000 points, and STAG, who have overtaken TAY for third place.

There’s a new leader in the Junior Inter-Clubs Championship, as FVO has bypassed MAROC to take the lead, while ELO leads the Small Clubs competition
