Gunmakers Arms, second from bottom in the Small Heath Summer League provided the biggest shock this week when in their home game against third in the table Victoria 301 Club they won 5-4. Top team Station Hotel had a relatively comfortable 6-3 win at Ward End Ex Service Club, while second placed McVeighs travelled to bottom of the table Victoria Flights and returned with a 5-4 win.
Station Hotel hold on to pole position with 20 points, with McVeighs on 16 and Victoria 301 Club a further two points adrift. Fourth placed Custard House are also on 14 points, but have played two games fewer than the three teams above them. Wins in both those games in hand would see Custard House move up into second place and leave them just two points behind the leaders.
