Both Musselburgh and Gullane faced treacherous trips, to Longniddry and Haddington respectively. But both coped well in challenging conditions, and delivered their wins.

And that leaves Musselburgh on top of the table, with Gullane just a point behind them. Craigielaw are the other team in contention, two points further back, but now with a game in hand.

And there’s little let-up in the title race, with Craigielaw in action at home to Haddington next week, while Musselburgh travel to Winterfield. Craigielaw must be hot favourites against the league’s bottom team (whose relegation was in fact confirmed by today’s defeat), but the challenge in front of Musselburgh is more significant. Winterfield have earned all of their point this season at home, and lost out only by the narrowest of margins when the two teams met earlier in the season at Musselburgh.

Musselburgh however know they can win the league with two wins to finish off their programme, and will be up for the challenge as they travel to their final away assignment.
