Only four points separate the top six teams with Amblecote RBL A and Kingswinford Snooker Centre leading the way.

They remain unbeaten but were made to battle for their latest victories.

Amblecote RBL A just edged past Stourbridge Institute B 3-2 thanks to Paul Botfield, Steve Norton and Billy Green.

Kingswinford went 2-0 down at home to Brett and Sam Ball of Old Edwardians B, but came back strongly through John Salisbury, Jamie Westwood and Steve Ballinger.

Wombourne really hit form as they took all five frames on the tables of Amblecote Institute E to lift themselves into third place, a point clear of Amblecote RBL B, who won 3-2 at Stourbridge Institute D.

Kinver Constitutional D celebrated their first success, a 4-1 win at the expense of Bahia’s SC B.
