As the season fast draws to an end the Sheldon and District Winter League have been playing off their League Cup finals. The premier division final was contested by divisional champions Saltley Amateur Gardeners and Brook Meadow. The result was a very close 5-4 in favour of Saltley.
The division one final was between the top two teams in the division, champions RAFA and runners up Pavilions. The outcome was as it finished in the league with RAFA again the winners with another very close 5-4 scoreline.
Division two was the only game that possibly went against the odds. Second in the table Farringdon Flights took on third placed Willclare Sports and Social and it was Willclare who got the eventual 6-3 verdict.
Also on the agenda for the league was the M & B Cup which with a 7-2 win over Bordesley Labour Club followed by a 6-3 success against Hobs Meadow it was Shard End Social who won the title.
