1st May 2005: The Cambs & Hunts League is close to completion.

• Cambridge 1 have won division 1 for the second time in three years (but with a completely different team). Saffron Walden 1 were second.
• The outcome of division 2 depends on the result of the final game between Cambridge 4 and Huntingdon 2. A draw or better will give Cambridge the title. 11-9 or 12-8 to Huntingdon will see Shire Hall sneak through; a bigger win and it will be Huntingdon. (This is the interpretation of the web site manager and is not guaranteed to be correct!)
• Division 3 has been comforably won by Saffron Walden 2. with Huntingdon 3 second.
• Division 4 teams other than Royston are struggling to complete their matches. The title seems to be destined for Royston, Huntingdon 4 or University 3.
