ST Stephen's C' have won the SEC Solutions Worcester League Division Three title with two matches to spare.

They suffered a 4-1 defeat at the hands of second-placed St John's C' but the one point earned was sufficient to secure top spot.

Hallow A's defeat by Suzy Q A' in Division One looks to have handed Pershore B' an opportunity to take the trophy for the third time in as many years.
