Raven swoop to leave Leopold winless

Alan Unwin won the opener but it was Leopold who seized control as John Elverson, Len Eastland and Paul Simmonds put them 3-1 up.

But that was all they could manage as Ken O’Hara, John Garnett, Lee Simmons, Scot Lees and Jerry Goddard won the remaining ties for Raven.

Oyster House A dropped two points behind division four’s leaders as they went down 6-3 to Fawcett Inn B.

Oyster twice took the lead through Rob Loveridge and Robert Osborne but each time Fawcett levelled – first through Peter McKeon and then with a walkover for Colin Hatherley.

Mark McKeon then put Fawcett in front before Alex Hood made it 3-3.

But it was one-way traffic from there on with Steve Fell, Derrick Proudlock and Stephen Gardner taking the last three to win it for Fawcett. Rose in June B enjoyed a convincing 7-2 win over Fountain Inn in division one.

Rose took a 4-1 lead thanks to Paul Taylor, Brian Ford, Ian Pearce and Michael Neat. Ford and Pearce both scored 180s as Kyle McManus provided the only early resistance.

Shane Williams scored 180 as he added Rose’s sixth and the final set was awarded to Mark Ford as a walkover.

Pelham Arms sit second in division two thanks to a 7-2 triumph over King Street Tavern.

John Fields gave King the initial lead but it was short-lived with Paul Stillwell, Scott Yule, Danny Harmer and Neil Munro turning the tables.
