The final round of South West group games in the English Short Mat Bowling Association (ESMBA) Inter County Championship will be played on Sunday, November 25.
In the Premier Team competition Dorset are the clear leaders with 126 points and a +216 shot difference. Cornwall are second on 96 and +1, Devon third with 93 and -92 and Somerset fourth on 85 and -125.
With Dorset needing just 10 points to mathematically guarantee top spot there are several permutations for the second qualification spot for the Knockout competition.
Cornwall need a minimum of 19 points to ensure they finish ahead of Devon, anything less will see Devon overtake Cornwall. If Cornwall reach 19 points Somerset would then need at least 31 points if they are qualify.
The A Team competition can see anyone of three counties take the top spot. Somerset lead with 113 and +34, Cornwall second with 109 and +103, Dorset third with 106 and +53 and Devon fourth with 72 and -190.
A win for Cornwall will guarantee progression to the knockouts the result between Dorset and Somerset determining who will take the second place.
Somerset need 17 points from the match and Dorset 24. It looks likely that the top three could be split by a very small margin.
It is hoped to bring regular updates from the Devon v Cornwall matches via Facebook & Twitter throughout the day on Sunday.
