Willington and

District League

The Prospect Club were the biggest sufferers when the points won against Willington Commercial were removed for the leaders lost six from the two matches played. This allowed Hunwick Club, who had not played the Commercial, to move up to share top place after they only dropped one point on their visit to Willington Lion and Unicorn. However the Prospect have played a match less than Hunwick Club.

Willington Brewer's Droop B are only three points behind the joint leaders after they won by the odd point on their visit to Hunwick Quarry. The Brewers scorers were Bill Saunders, Vince Conaty and Jimmy Fleming, whilst Joe Fullerton and John Dobinson replied for the Quarry.

The Captain's Table shows no alteration for the top two as Sunnybrow Brown Trout and Hunwick Quarry still share the top place. The full list of points and positions is 1st equal Hunwick Quarry and Sunnybrow Brown Trout 8 points each; 3rd equal Brewer's Droop A and Hunwick Club 6 each; 5th Cottles A 5; 6th equal Cottles B, Brewer's B and the Prospect Club 4 each; 9th Lion and Unicorn 2 points.
