AUDCO CRUSH SORRY SHAKESPEARE B
NEWPORT (Shropshire): The Audco A closed to within four points of the Newport & District Pool League title with a 6-0 demolition of the Shakespeare B team at Upper Bar.
They now need only four points from their final six games and a possible 18 to secure a second successive title. Junction A moved a point behind the King’s Head in the battle for the runners-up spot. The Norbury side beat the Navigation B, 4-2, at Gnosall and now have three games left to pass this year’s beaten cup finalists, who did not have a game this week.
The resurgent Railway Tavern moved ahead of the Audco B on frame difference for the first time this season and into fourth place with a hard-earned 4-2 victory at the Navy Club. Audco B were held to a 3-3 draw by Shakespeare A.
A shortage of two players forced Wrockwardine Wood Football Club to call off their match with Lilleshall Sports Centre, while the Navigation A’s result against the Junction B was unavailable as we closed for press.
Could the seven team captains (King’s Head, Audco A, LSC, Shake B, Railway Tavern, Junction B and Audco B), who have not paid their annual fees, please arrange for monies to be left with Ian Roberts at the Railway Tavern this week, as the league co-ordinator needs to arrange end-of-season awards?
All match results are to be sent immediately by text message to 07831 123153.
