Given that these are very early days, tomorrow's Ceredigion Bowling Association Division One clash between unbeaten rivals Lampeter and reigning champions Cardigan at The Rookery is seen by many as a crunch game, the result of which could have a big bearing on the title race.

The mid county side warmed up for the visit of the champs with a 49-shot win over visitors Aberaeron and it is now two from two for the high-flyers.
