Audco C were away to Maddocks D this week and still remain top in spite of a 3-2 defeat at the Maddocks club.

Meanwhile, Comrades took on the other Audco side, Audco B and in a close match Audco took this one 3-2.

Anstice B seem to be losing their grip of late, and this week they lost their match with Newport British legion although having the home advantage, the score was 3-2 to the Newport lads.

Bayley Q were given a snooker lesson at the Bayley club this week it seems, as that result ended in a 4-1 win for the Little Dawley B side.


Second Division

No Coddon A result this week but they still remain top as Shifnal F, away from home could only take one point from Minnesota A at the Oakengates club.

Coddon C are one of three teams on the same points, and they had a good 4-1 result this week when they played against the Maddocks B side. One of my old team mates, veteran Les Hicks was the only winner for the Maddocks side; well done Les, keep it going.

Second club B met Little Dawleys G at the Trench club this week with the Dawley side taking four of the five points on offer. Paul Crooks was the only winner for the second club when he beat Graham Wiley and having a 24 break during the match.

Second club A side fared better than their counterparts as they visited Dawley B and came away with a 3-2 win over the Dawley lads.


First Division

Maddock's C entertained a strong Minnesota B side this week and performed very well in taking two points off the 2nd placed side. In the first game Steve Hassack came up against Sean Harris and in a game where both players played some excellent safety shots Sean eventually took the frame 57-38. The next frame matched Joe Oliver against Darren Weston with Joe finally finding a bit of form and in a very even game Joe pinched it with an excellent pink and black to win 57-50. Brendan Wincott then started well against Keith Price but when Keith got going he took the 3rd frame fairly easily with two good breaks of 43 and 33 , frame score 90-24.

Simon Yeats looked to be walking his frame against Graham Hoof when leading by 57 points (break of 44) but Graham staged a tremendous recovery and was extremely unlucky to finally lose the game on the black 74-61. In the last frame Darren Wincott played Ian Duffy and ran out a worthy winner 52-28, although the run of the ball was not particularly kind to Ian, but Darren was delighted in that it was the first time that he had beaten Ian. Final match score 3-2 to Minnesota B.

Shifnal B met the much improved Bayley E at Shifnal this week and although Matt Davies won the opening frame 86-0 with an 86 break, the next frame was the last one they won on the evening, as Bayley came back to win the next three.

Bayley A and Bayley F in a local derby saw the Bayley F side win by the odd frame in five.
