Heather Wright was the ‘A’ team’s top lady, beating Liz Brunt 3-2 with a 16.74 average. Kieran Bridgwater was in superb form for the men’s ‘A’, chalking up a fantastic 33.40 average in his straight 4-0 win over Scott Hope.
The defeat has seen Black Country drop two places in the league table to fifth, their ninety-five points leaving them trailing leaders Clwyd now by some twenty-six points.
