PSL round 8 results from Group B
Surrey take Charge
In Group B leaders Exeter travelled to reigning champions Surrey, and the home side stormed into a quick 3-0 lead, finishing off the match 5-0 as Adrian Grant came from two-nil down to beat LJ Anjema in the top string match to put Surrey back on top of the table, leaving Exeter still sweating on making the semis.
Third-place Chichester kept up the pressure with a 5-0 away win at Bristol that moved them up to second place, Jon Kemp stunning Mohamed El Shorbagy at number one, and St George’s Hill also took advantage with a 4-1 win at Winchester that kept their slim hopes of progression alive.
Standings:
Surrey 127, Chichester 119, Exeter 117, St George’s 97, Winchester 57, Bristol 37
Round 9: Surrey v Bristol, Exeter v Winchester, St George’s v Chichester
Round 10: Chichester v Exeter, Winchester v Surrey, Bristol v St George’s
With Surrey still to play the bottom two teams it would be a surprise if they were not to stay top, and it could well come down to Chichester v Exeter in the final round to determine the other semi-finalist.
