              The Premier League V is really starting to take shape. We have just seen Yevgeniy Timoshenko depose, long-time chip leader, Patrik Antonius to earn himself 16-points in Group B, Heat 2, and very shortly the job of entertaining us falls to the stalwarts of Group A.<\/p>\n

              Phil Laak won the first heat and Tony G the second. Are the more mature students of the game going to make it three in a row? Or is it time to shine for the likes of Mathew Frankland, Sam Trickett and Luke Schwartz?<\/p>\n
