Berkeley League

IN division three, a high scoring game at the Tudor Arms saw both sides getting four spares apiece as Raggedass Rangers pushed themselves into promotion contention with a 15 pin over the Fizz Kids.

Having a quick start with setter Harry Samson getting a 16 spare on his first go Rangers were never headed.

His opposite number Paul Savage was the best of the Fizz Kids with 65 including a ten spare.

In division four in a close game at Cam Bowls Club, Chaos eased their relegation worries with a home win over Sharpness Playmates.

After six legs, Chaos held a four pin league but back to back nines over the next two legs from Sue Taylor proved vital as they doggedly hung on to win by seven despite a good 56 from Playmates skipper Sandra Powell recovering form a three first go.

In division five the Staggareds opened up the promotion chase with a home win over the Munch Bunch.

Starting with a 57 at the tricky Hamfields alley they were soon under pressure from the Munch Bunch and a 15 spare from their anchor Brian Tovey put them into league after three legs.

However the Staggareds put in a good team performance including a nice 51 from Reg Portlock and drew clear to win by 19 pins
