A West Midlands Round Up

Congratulations to the Crown ‘A’ who completed a very successful season in the Cradley Tuesday night League with a 7-2 home win over the Bulls Head to make it 33 wins in 36 games, taking the title with a total of 66 points, four more than runners up Chainmakers ‘B’, who won their final game at Hawne Lane Tavern 6-3.

Roost ‘B’ took the wooden spoon, but full marks to them as they managed to field a full side throughout the season despite only winning two games. Bulls Head finished just two points ahead of Roost ‘B’, however around 80% of the fixtures they lost were by a close 5-4 scoreline, one more winner in those games would have seen them finish in the top half of the table.

Jason Lowe (Crown ‘A’) had the most wins losing just two of his 36 games, while M.Hall (Chainmakers ‘B’) recorded a tremendous 164 checkout.

Full Results:- Members Club 8 Roost ‘B’ 1, Hawne Lane Tavern 3 Chainmakers ‘B’ 6, Jay’s Bar 5 Crown ‘B’ 4, Wheatsheaf 8 Riddins Tavern 1, Gate (Colley Gate) 5 Hasbury Inn 4, Crown ‘A’ 7 Bulls Head 2, Chainmakers ‘A’ 6 Yeltz Bar 3, Roost ‘A’ 5 Gate (Darby End) 4, Netherton Sports and Social ‘A’ 1 Brickmakers Arms 8.

The win puts Crown at Olton third in the premier division table on eight points, the same number of points as second placed Old Bill and Bull, Saltley Amateur Gardeners, who have dropped from second to fourth and Mackadown Social, all of them apart from Saltley have a game in hand on leaders Crown at Shard End, whose 7-2 win at Willclare Sports and Social maintains their unbeaten run and gives them a four points lead.

Having played five games, Banbury Club lead division one with a perfect tally of ten points, Baldwin Bears lost their second place when they were surprisingly beaten 5-4 at Sheldon Heath Social, who are seventh in the table. No fewer than six teams are on six points, Baldwin one of them, but the second and third placed Castle Vale Stadium and Holy Souls both have a game in hand on the leaders.

A 7-2 win at Greville Arms puts Crown-Forget-Me-Not top of division two with a maximum ten points from their five games. Sheldon Marlborough Flights are also undefeated and are only two points adrift due to the fact that the leaders have played one game more than them.
