However both Des Woods with two wins from two races (200 points) and possibly Neil Carty with 196 points could well overtake both Gary & Deon.
In the ladies Championship, Fiona has maximum points from three events so could finish off the ladies section if she competes on Sunday. Alwynne Shannon is second with 295 points and Anne Sandford third with 197 points from two events. Norma Rea is fourth and Jackie Toal and Stephanie Hambing equal fifth.
In the team awards, Mourne Runners lead with three wins, Newcastle have two second places and a third place while BARF, in third place, have two thirds and a fourth place. However North Belfast, if they can get a team out, have the potential to move up in the standings.
