City in 6th after Bank Holiday victories. Div 1 round up

Last updated : 27 August 2003 By Michael Morris
City have climed to 6th place after two weekend wins, a feat equalled by Sundarland and West Brom. Not all the teams have played two games yet, there are more matches on Tuesday night and one on Wednesday night. City could drop down after those games have been played but for now who cares, we are 6th.

For Derby it was double trouble, defeat at home by Reading then the 4 - 1 reverse at Ninian Park.
