A Look Back In Time 15.07.2009
The top two teams in group one of the Sheldon and District Summer League met in the most recent fixtures, leaders Bromford Bridge Members Club Exiles taking on Saltley Amateur Gardeners. Saltley were the home side but it was not enough of an advantage for them to win as Bromford went on to win 5-3. Bromford are still in pole position on four points, just one leg of average ahead of Mackadown Social whose 6-2 home win over Sheldon Dukes puts them levell o points with Bromford. Saltley have dropped to third place but have a game in hand on the two teams above them.
There was also a top of the table clash in group two. Prior to the game Shirley RBL and Old Bill and Bull were level on points and average, but with Shirley handing out a convincing 7-1 defeat to their rivals they have now opened up a two points lead and a very healthy average.
Redhill Tavern, remain in the number one spot in group three after their 6-2 win at Scanlons. Second placed Highwood ’A’ won their home tie with Shirley RBL Misfits 5-3.
In group four Vaughans suffered their first loss of the season going down 6-2 at George V and in group five Banbury Warriors had a similar fate as they lost 5-3 at Yardley Ex Flights.
