Quarry Gate A notched up their 13th straight Morrells ODDA Premier League win when they visited Shelley Arms C.

The visitors took a 3-0 lead when they won the pairs, by the Shelley threatened to spoil their impressive record when Steve Willoughby, Peter Rouse and Glyn Jones hit back to level the scores.

The Quarry men then moved up a gear and wins from Kit Young (180), Steve Foster (180) and Joe Palmer gave them a comfortable 6-3 success.

They now require just four points from their last game to regain the title.

Jack Russell celebrated their first win of the season after 12 consecutive defeats, 5-4 against Section 1 leaders, Cowley Community Centre thanks to singles wins from John Jukes, Keith Abrey, Steve Roberts and Mick O'Leary.

Despite the Community Centre's loss, they need just one point from the return match to win the title.
