Beckwood Sex Panthers and Schnapps Elite tie up second spot as they both managed 7-5 victories against newcomers, Harrys Bar Harriers and Brumby Hall B respectively. Four teams sit in the middle of the table all on 6 points as Beacon Rats vs Foxhills Club and Mill Road DM vs Scunthorpe Bowl both finished as draws.

Grosvenor B appear to find life much easier in division 7 as the relegated side find themselves top of the league following an outstanding 11-1 win against newcomers Schnapps Retro B. 

Lord Roberts occupies second spot beating newcomers Priory 10-2. Schnapps Reloaded, who very kindly played their tie at Mulligans this week to accommodate a new team predominantly consisting of under 18 players. However, they weren’t as kind on the table as Reloaded came won 9-3 in ruthless fashion.  

The third Schnapps side ‘Retro A’ weren’t as fortunate at Mulligans this week as they were unable to avoid defeat losing to Unique 7-5, whist two other newcomers faced off at Jolly Sailor as the hosts won 7-5 against Bottesford Town B.
