Bad weather caused a number of fixtures to be cancelled in week nine of the Forest of Arden Winter League. However, one team that braved the weather was Riley’s Red Arrows who played hosts to Sheldon Arrows and chalked up a massive 8-1 victory which sees them take over pole position as Riley’s Flights did not play. Red Arrows have now stretched their unbeaten run to seven games amassing 14 points, while Riley’s Flights who are also undefeated have played six games and are two points adrift with a game in hand.
Olton RBL moved up the table to third place with a comfortable 7-2 win away to Kenny’s Boys but remain four adrift of the leaders. In the only other game played Highwood ‘A’ won their home tie with Chelmsley Town 6-3.
