Tipton’s men, for many years have set the pace in the West Midlands Super league, are doing exactly that again and a convincing 7-2 victory in their latest fixture away to Smethwick keeps them right on course for yet another championship. Chalking up a similar 7-2 success was Chadsmoor, who on their own board accounted for Willenhall. Other results saw Warley beat Blakenhall 6-3 and Darlaston, with a 5-4 result take out Oldbury.

In the women’s section there were 4-1 away wins for both Smethwick and Wednesbury at the expense of, in turn Willenhall and Wolverhampton. In the tie between Great Wyrley and Wednesfield, the former got the close 3-2 verdict.
