THERE were neither shocks nor relatively close results in the Bury Royunders League First Division on Monday.

Reigning champions, Fishpool A, stormed to an innings win from Bury West.

Elton Vale B, beaten by Ramsbottom ladies in the cup last week, were unable to gain a quick revenge this time going down 103-179.

The 'battle of Radcliffe,' went the way of St Marys A, inflicting a 177-125 defeat upon rivals Radcliffe CC.

In the Division's final game, Redvales A maintained their unbeaten start with a 252-158 victory from Brocks X1 A.

In Division Two, both Bury Felt A and B made it two wins from two and Warth A share the early pace-setting with them, this week claiming an innings win over Swan Ladies A.

Bury Felt A had to fight for their points, their result being the closest of the night, 130-122.

The Division's remaining two games resulted in first wins of the season for Independents and for Bury East A.

Division Three is the first to have a clear leader, Wellington's 283-172 win over Redvales B makes them the only side with two wins from two, though both St Marys B and Tottington B remain undefeated each having only played one game each.

St Mary's C picked up their first win of the season, 183-150, over Tottington A.

In the Division's remaining game, Warth B triumphed from Limefield, who along with ETF have still to 'get off the mark' for the season.

In Division Four, Exodus claimed the win in a nail-biting finish with Peelers,168-167. The remaining two games to be completed in this Division saw Redvales, Derby and All Saints A continue their unbeaten starts to the season.

On Wednesday in Division Five there were wins for Ainsworth TF, Walmersley Ladies, Bury East B, St Annes and Bury Sports.

Division Six saw only three games played to completion. Dearden's are showing good early season form, storming to an innings victory over Sundial Ladies.

Tottington C have also started the season well. This week Oddballs became their victims, 269-107.

A much closer game was played out at Bury Sports Club, where the away side, TPS St Johns, emerged victorious 192-169 over M D Ladies.

The early signs in Division Seven are that the Division is splitting into two halves.

With no fewer than five sides remaining undefeated, the remaining five have yet to pick up their first points of the campaign.
