The race for the Division One title saw leaders Landywood C beaten 3-2 at home by Poets Corner C. Wins for Hasib Hussain, Hasan Hussain and Sajid Hussain did the damage for Poets.

The Amery Club were also winners this week and remain just outside the drop zone after winning 3-2 away at fellow relegation-battling side Bloxwich Memorial B. Carl Rushton, Des Pitt and Brian Guest won the frames for Amery.

In Division Two, leaders Poets Corner D extended their lead to five points as they won 4-1 at home against Old Hall B.
