THIS week’s games were all potentially match of the week contenders on recent form.

The top match this week turned out to be the clash between unbeaten league leaders Radcliffe Cricketers and hosts and the reigning Champions Rose and Crown Starling. A predictively close match, it all hinged on the final question and the runaway leaders took it by a point.

Rose and Crown Rammy hosted Swan and Railway Radcliffe B, and a point again, in a close contender for match of the week, was the final result in favour of the visitors.

Team of the week went to Radcliffe Cricket Club who may have just clinched the title at the halfway mark.

As the Hare and Hounds car park can get pretty full on a Monday, the suggestion is that for the Christmas quiz that teams might want to park on the Co-op car park at the top end of Longsight Road. Can teams can bring prizes for the raffle on the night as usual, many thanks.

League matches take place every Monday at home venues, quiz off 8.30pm, new faces always welcome.
