A SCORE of 52 by Paul Jauncey enabled the Warlords to move back level with Westsiders at the top of Division One of the Worcester and District Men's Skittle League.

Warlords, playing away to Playboys, had a comfortable 29-pin victory while Westsiders, at home against Back Scuttlers, lost by just one pin.

In the Three Cities Competition, Worcester beat Gloucester 608-568. Following the victory over Gloucester, Worcester are at least guaranteed a play-off in this season's competition. With just one game left, Gloucester need to beat Hereford away to stop Worcester winning the title.
