GRAPES A (Roy Braburne 21-6) are back on top of Division One following their destruction of Manley A at Halton Road. Red Lion A (Barry Ellams 21-7) lost at Castle Park A (Peter Murray 21-9) and slip down to second, ahead of Helsby B (Bernie McLean 21-7), fine away winners at Willow Brook A.

Goshawk A (Chris Evans 21-3, Fred Worrall 21-4) were too good at home for Egerton A as were Red Lion B for Chetwode A. Pavilions A (Simon Jones 21-3) won at Helsby D (John Clements 21-5) to stay in fifth position just behind Goshawk A.

It's all change at the top of Division Two following former leaders Kingswood B's hammering at new leaders Tigers Head A whose full house included a 21-6 from Chris Koral. Goshawk B (Richard Boow 21-7), winners at Runcorn Hill, move up to second with Kingswood down to third. Subscription A (George Smart 21-8) are down to joint fourth with Pavilions B who also lost to Pavilions E (Mike Highton 21-7). Norton Arms A enjoyed their first win of the season with a one chalk victory over Cons Club A, mainly due to a 21-7 win from Robert Jones.

Subscription B (Bill Fulton 21-6) had the same experience at home to Castle Park B.

Grapes B lost away at Kingswood A (Barry Stopford 21-5) but remain top of Division Three from Kingsley A who did win away, at Cons Club B. Helsby A (Colin Wass 21-4) were home winners over Tigers Head B and are up to third ahead of their opponents. Rock Park (Di Worthington 21-5) did well to win at Spinner.

Pavilions C (Matt Freeman 21-5) closed the gap on Division Four leaders Helsby C when they defeated them at the Weston Club. Norton Arms B are up to third after two away wins in one week, the first at Kingsley B (Gary Greenhalgh 21-4) included a 21-4 from Brian Tilds- ley and the second at Overton where Jon Tennetta won 21-7. Fourth-placed Willow Brook B (Ernie Ellis 21-5) won away at Manley as did Egerton B (Ray Robinson 21-5) at Rock Park Rams despite a 21-5 from Mark Shepard.
