There were a few 5-4 wins last week, with two of them going to the final frame. However, the SSSC A needed the other three before them as they were at one point 4-1 down at home to the Greenbridge A. The Dragon A also won on the last frame after they struggled in the singles going 3-1 down at home to the Bush Robeston (which included the worst miss on the black I've ever seen) - I won't mention his name. The other teams winning 5-4 were the leaders Kilgetty RAOB A over Temple Bar A, while the Jeff A took a 5-1 lead, but lost all the doubles against the Cresselly. The Stanley Arms B move off the bottom of the table after a good 6-3 home win against local rivals Lawrenny Sports, while the RAOB A matched that score and sent the Hean to the abyss of the league.
The B League saw the top four all pick up wins, the RAOB B stay top after their 5-4 win over the Jeff B, while the remaining sides all scored big 7-2 away wins, with Whitland Dairies securing the points at the Eagle, the Iron Duke made the quick trip up the road to the Bush Llan worthwhile, and Kilgetty RAOB B cemented the KSSC's position at the bottom of the table. The other matches saw the SSSC B climb up the table with a win at the Temple Bar B, while the Wisemans had to win the last two doubles to take the points off the Cross Clarbeston.
The C League's big match saw an important win for the Station House B over near rivals the Alpha A to stay in contention for trophies, although the Whitland Bowls are still holding second place after a big win over the Dragon B.
The White Horse teams had a good night, with the A team staying four points clear after a win over the Stanley A, while their B team came away from the Taf with a 5-4. The Greenbridge B got back to winning ways against the Sporting Chance, and the RFC made it two wins in three matches as they defeated the Begelly Arms. The Alpha B made it three straight wins after their trip to the Cross Broadmoor.
NB: This Sunday sees the last eight of the Triples take place.
