Frustrating indeed, but generally Oli does seem to be moving in the right direction.

Some not so much at the moment.  I note that Oli's 45 ranking points this year puts him one ahead of the combined efforts of Marsalek ( 18 ), Morgan ( 12 ), Burton ( 9 ) and Broady ( 5 ).

I think after my somewhat negativity above about what was looked on as our best 1992 and younger players, it is worth pointing out that there is actually a slightly younger overall set of four players ( very similar except for Kyle being a year younger than Liam ) who have done better in ranking points than the four I highlighted.

i.e.  Carpenter ( 20 ), Edmund ( 15 ), Gabb ( 12 )  and Martin ( 10 )  -  totalling 57 as against 44 of the above four and 45 of Oli alone.

So we have a bigger group with a somewhat  levelling up and down of these falling in line behind Oli in ranking points this year for 1992 borns and younger.
