First, some shocking news from Westview Leasure Centre in Preston. Santos didn't win the Preston Community League. They looked odds on after a year to remember but it was not to be.

Canaries couldn't have that ... in their own back yard ... never. They beat Santos 4-1 to claim the title.

In the Blackburn Community midweek league it looks like H & T Pawnbrokers are homing in on another premiership title. They continue to destroy everyone and anyone this season despite playing with an under-strength team.

The Galligreaves dream team must be hoping for a minor miracle.

Brasian United's manager was in a talkative mood recently. He hit back at comments his side were lucky to beat the league's two leading teams.

Here it is the first Kevin Keegan type rant of the season. He said, "Two minutes before kick off the player-manager had to put on the Brasian United top and play the whole game as we had FOUR players missing.

"We came out cut, bruised and even bleeding after the game but it was definitely worth it. We mean business this season"

Well, we'll have to wait and see. Never ever speak too early. (And I speak as a Bank Top lad.)

In the Badminton Community league Zafar Ali remains unbeaten at the top but what of the bottom two players Chilwan and Kheratker. The comeback is well under way we are told.
