THE race for the A Division title between Brookhouse and Sansrod seems certain to go all the way to the wire.

On Saturday Sansrod cut their rivals' lead to just five points following an easy win over lowly Mayfield, whilst Brookhouse were unable to claim the two vital bowling points in their rain-affected victory over Western.

With three games to go neither team can afford to take their foot off the pedal, and although Sansrod appear to have the easier run-in, Brookhouse can never be under estimated and still remain slight favourites to retain their title.

Furniture World have put great pressure on the leades of B Division following their resounding win over top placed Blackburn Eagles and Queens Park's loss to second from bottom Harangam.

Haideria too ar sneaking up on the rails and cold still feature in the scramble for the second promotion place. The crucial match between the Eagles and Queens Park this coming weekend now takes on an added significance. A DIVISION
