combinations of winners.

4 Jan 78 -3
5 Thomas 72 +0

the regional stage of the RINIWA DBMM league is drawing to a close with the final game pairings and leader boards published below. In most provinces it has been a tough fight but Munster is a bloodbath with very big wins and most games ending in bloody victories. Only Ulster has a clear winner at this stage.

There will be an invitational 2-round finals in Dublin at the end of November where the regional winners (2 from Dublin as the largest pool) will duke it out to determine the overall league winner.
