We’re now into the fifth game of the season and my report starts with the Anstice B who lead this division. Anstice gained a fine 4-1 win over the Audco B side, at Audco with Alex Turnbull grabbing the last frame from Stew Wimbush to get the solitary point for the Newport lads.

Comrades also visited the Audco club where they produced a 3-2 win over the newly entered Audco C side. Comrades took the first three frames until J. Williams and A. Lycett pulled two frames back for Audco.

In a local derby match at Little Dawley, the C team saw off their counterparts. LDS B by four frames to one. Sam Hamilton was the only winner for the B side and knocked in a twenty break when he beat A. Garbett.

Bayley Q at home to Maddocks D, saw Chris Durham put in a solid outing to win frame one, with Roy Lowe answering for the visitors with a black ball victory in the next frame. Fred Spragg put the visitors 2-1 up with some good potting. Maddocks then drafted in Cheryl Caswell at the last minute so that they didn’t have to give a frame away. Cheryl was put to an early test as Steve Weatherall raced into an early 21 lead. However Cheryl had all the answers and put on a master class potting display including missing a fine cut to give her a 25 point clearance. Cheryl won the frame 63-34 before Richard Tranter won a tactical battle to see the finishing score line 3-2 to Maddocks.

Hadley continued their fine early season form with a resounding 4-1 win over Newport B. Kev Whitehead (fresh from his victory in the Div 3 Individuals, last week) started the ball rolling with a fine 27 break, beating Nigel Simpson 73 - 30. But the best was yet to come, with Ken Booty compiling a magnificent 56 break to take the next match against the previously undefeated Richard Goldie 72 -4. Tugboat then continued his fine start to the season with a closely fought victory over Alan Davies 38 - 24. Al Francis then put the Hadley boys 4 - 0 up when he defeated Steve Speake 64 - 35, however John Yapp pulled a frame back for Newport against Iain Atkinson 63 -46, to save his side from what would have been Hadley's 1st ever whitewash.

Second Division

Coddon A were away to newly promoted Maddocks B this week and the Coddon team were too strong for Maddocks, taking all five points. Not without a struggle in the first frame however, as Steve Pritchard put up a brave fight against Dave Lloyd to lose by 70-59.

Minnesota Fats A played another local derby game with the Min G side. This match went to the final frame which saw the A side win the decider for a 3-2 win.

Coddon C lost their home match against the Second club B side with Daniel Ballard having a 29 break in his win over Bob Lane.

Second Club A were at home to the Little Dawley G side and lots of high scoring frames in this match, but with the Second Club A side gaining the match win, four frames to one.

Dawley B did themselves a power of good as they beat the Bayley D side at Dawley. Paul Harper opened the match and recorded a 37 break in his win over Jim Lewis.

First Division

League leaders Broseley A visited the Audco A side who returned to the top flight this season. Andy Kendrick got the Audco off to a good start by beating Carl Walker, having a 34 break whilst doing so. Mick Hughes nearly made it two but a super finish by Graeme Long from brown to black levelled the scores. Mick Brezwyn was far too strong for Richard Jaggs but Alan turner took the next frame from John Banks. Simon Thomas potted well and played good safety game which never allowed Graham Darrall off the mark, result, 3-2 to Broseley.

Shifnal B visited the Bayley F side and came away with a good 4-1 win. Eddie Whitehead was the solitary winner for the Bayley side.
