frames in this match as the first frame went to Stu Wimbush
against Brian McMillan, 50-42. Even closer the next with Mick
Cahill 44, and Dave Lloyd junior 41. The usually steady Noel

for Luke Edwards as he beat Aaron Griffiths 51-10.
First Division
Although we are having postal problems at the moment, I would
prefer to try and keep up to date with the reports when I
can, which means there may be more than the usual amount of
teams not mentioned.
Coddon A played the league winners this week, Shifnal B,
at the Coddon club. Tony Garmson gave the home side a good
start when he beat Aaron Sparkes in the first frame of the

beating Andy Jones, followed by Matt Davies with a 64 break,
and a comfortable win over Mark Wall. The fourth frame was
