SNOOKS 'B' are closing in on their third Kidderminster & District Monday Snooker League Premiership title after taking maximum points against Bewdley. Their march towards another championship comes despite good wins from the chasing pack of three.

With the bottom two relegated it looks like a straight fight between the two St Johns clubs and Sporting Club who all took heavy beatings.

Results: Franche 'D' 4, Sporting 1; Pockets 'B' 4, St Johns 'E' 1; Snooks 'F' 1, Snooks 'A' 1; Snooks 'B' 5, Bewdley 0; St Johns 'A' - bye.

In Division One it also looks cut and dried with Franche 'B' opening up a nine point gap at the top. But it looks a tight fight for the other promotion spot with Workmans 'A' Leading the pack after beating fellow challengers Snooks 'C' by 3-2, while the once proud St Johns 'D' are having their worst season in their history at the bottom of Division One.

Division One: St Johns 'D' - bye; Chester Rd 2, Legion 3; Pockets 'G' 2, Pockets 'E' 3, Workmans 'A' 3, Snooks 'C' 2; St Johns 'F' 1, Franche 'B' 4.

Pockets 'C' jumped to the top of Division Two after a convincing win away to The Queens Head to take advantage of Franche 'A' having a bye. Pockets 'F' are close by after a 4-1 beating of Pockets 'D'.

Workmans 'B' and Snooks 'D' are still in the running for promotion, but it looks as if Cookley will win the unwanted wooden spoon after their 3-2 defeat to the team above them, St Johns 'B, cut them seven points adrift at the bottom.

Division Two: Queens Head 1, Pockets 'C' 4; Pockets 'D' 1, Pockets 'F' 4; Franche A - bye, Cookley 2, St Johns 'B' 3.

l In the Kidderminster and District Wednesday Snooker League, Franche A consolidated their lead at the top of Division One by beating third-placed Snooks A 3-2. St Johns B overcame Wribbenhall A by the same scoreline to protect their place at the Division Two summit.

Division One: St Johns A 4, St Georges B 1; Snooks A 2, Franche A 3; Franche C 2, St Johns E 3; Pockets A - bye.

Division Two: Franche B 2, Wribbenhall B 3; Snooks B 2, Wribbenhall C 3; Wribbenhall A 2, St Johns B 3; St Johns D - bye.
