Black Country began their season in the L-Style Division One with three straight wins but in the last three games they have lost, won and drawn to see them drop from a one-time pole position to now sixth in the table and although they have a game in hand on the current leaders Suffolk they are a huge forty-five points behind them.

Black Country’s latest fixture was a home game against seventh in the division Somerset. It was not a good weekend for the ladies as the ‘B’ side lost 4-2 and the ‘A’ 5-1. Winners for the ‘B’ team were lady of the match Grace Angell who won 3-0 against Sophia Smith with a 17.08 average and Lacey Hughes, for the ‘A’ team Chez Allcock was their sole winner beating Becky Taylor 3-2.

It was better news for the men as the ‘B’ side won 8-4 and the ‘A’ 7-5, Connor Whitehouse had a fantastic 32.67 average as he beat Lee Gregory 30 to take the ‘B’ award and Liam Kelly was on the mark for the ‘A’ side as he won 4-1 against Tony Snook with a 28.60 average. The final score for the weekend was an 18-18 draw.
