Division 1 of the WKSFL is now well and truly split with only three teams in the running for top spot. Reigning champions Simla are in pole position having yet to be beaten. However, of the collective (26) games remaining for the top three, over half (14) are games against each other.

The record of Artois, Predators and Simla against Robin Hood, Crowborough and Pembury is very similar, as shown below. This table will eventually see each team play 12 games.

In games against each other, Simla holds the upper hand. This table will eventually see each team play 8 games.

February sees Simla play both Predators and Artois. If they will both games, the bookies should start to pay out.

Thanks to Alan Taylor of Whitstable for helping to fill in some results.

WKSFL sides Artois United and Paddock Wood Predators were handed tough games in the Kent Sunday Premier Cup.

In Round 5 (last 16) Artois United travel to Gillingham to face Scorpions who are currently second behind Quested in the Senior Section of the Medway Messenger League.

Scorpions have a good recent track record in the competition. They made the last eight in 2010-2011 where they were beaten 2-1 by eventual champions Rising Sun. In 2009-2010 they again lost narrowly 3-2 after extra time in the semi-final to Simla. http://www.mmsfl.co.uk/senior.htm

PW Predators are at home to Active Queen's Head who also sit in second place in the Thanet Premier League. http://www.tsfl.org.uk/?opt=league&sb=2&div=1

Past winners Hetton Lyons Cricket Club (2006, 2008 & 2010) and Oyster Martyrs (2011) remain in the competition.
