Collapse AllWigan Singles - Round 11 | Thursday 11 July 2019 to Wednesday 4 September 2019 (Midpoint: Wednesday 7 August 2019)

Maybe the heat got the better of everyone this time because after a really active and busy group last round, this time it was strangely sleepy! Not sure why this was but please do get in touch if you are struggling to play or to hear back another time.

Group Summary:

Very well played to Eugene who moves from runner up last time to the top spot this time and also to Brian, who came second who managed to get his bonus points despite this being an unusually quiet group. Last round, this was a really lively group, with 76% of all possible matches played. This time, it was strangely quiet with two players not getting underway at all. What happened? Please let us now if we can help another time.
