Sutton withdrawal hands Bowman walkover

David Bowman won his sixth B3 match after an injury forced Murray Sutton to withdraw from the league. Sutton, who was injured in his first match of the season against Roger Willcocks, was unable to continue. As Sutton had already played a match, walkovers had to be given to the rest of the players, something that will hinder Willcocks' progress in the division. It puts Bowman, however, one step closer to promotion. Another victory will almost certainly guarantee promotion, and another walkover may come with Gavin Pereira and Sean Williams, Bowman's two remaining opponents, still injured.
