HEAVITREE BREWERY

THERE is no change at the top of the Premier Division after the leading duo both won.

Kings C, who have a four-point lead, were 6-3 winners at Crawford C, while Barley Mow A had a 7-2 win over Railwayman A.

Division One front-runners Crawford A had a 7-2 victory at Barley Mow A, while the two Heart of Oak sides are romping away at the top of Division Two, with the A side remain title favourites after a 9-0 drubbing of Showman.

It is much closer in Division Three, with just two points separating the leading trio. Stowey Arms remain in pole position after a 6-3 victory over Village Inn B, but King Billy moved into second place above Green Gables after edging them 5-4.

The Royal Oak (Nadderwater) made it 10 wins from as many starts in Division Four with a 9-0 whitewash of Wonford Inn B.

In Division Five, Devon Yeoman B moved to within two points of leaders Windsor Castle when winning 6-3 at Royal Oak (Okehampton St) B.
