CONSERVATIVE C continued their superb run of results with a 3-2 win over in form Royal British Legion A to occupy second spot in the table.

Andrews, Ewings and Lillicrap gave Con C a dream start with wins over Grylls, Wickett and Stewart respectively. Con C however did not have it all their own way with Wood producing a good clearance to pip Bassett to the post in a black ball game.

A further face saving display from a dominant Ryall over Craze put an air of respectability on the match as RBL A pulled another frame back. Things are realy hotting up in the league now with only two points seperating Con C, West Devon A and Legion A, in second third and fourth spots.

West Devon B ended their year with a 3-2 win over Conservative B.

Con B's Kellaway fought out a tough low scoring game with Bath to eventually win on the black.

John Rich hit back for WD with a win over Croucher. In a high scoring open game Smith made it three for WD with a win over Angie Ward — who scored a commendable 45 points before going down. Evans with another solid display pulled a consolation frame back for Con B by taking out West Devon skipper Gilchrist in the final frame.

With the season half way through WD B can look back and draw comfort from the clear space they have now put between them and the bottom table spot.

RESULTS for December 23: West Devon B 2 Conservative B 3; Conservative C 3 British Legion A 2. Break of the week, N Ryall 23.
