KING Alfred A signalled their intentions of making a quick return to Sharples Lettings Furness and District Bowling League Division One by beating Roose Community A 13-1.

Only Jack Crabtree prevented a whitewash, with a 21-20 win, while Lee Barnard, 21-3, and John Reilly, 21-5, stood out for the Alfred.

Lindal A put their season back on track with an 11-3 win over North Scale, moving them level on points with the previous leaders.

Alex Spelman, 21-4, and 11-year-old Jack Preston, 21-6, recorded victories of note.

Glaxo SC reversed last week's disappointing defeat by beating West Shore 13-1, while Kirkby A had a big 13-2 win at Hawcoat Park B.

In Division One, Simon Brown’s 21-5 triumph helped Police beat reigning champions Lindal 11-3, while leaders King Alfred had to be content with a 7-7 draw at second-placed Post Office.

Alfred won 7-5 on games, but lost the aggregate by a single chalk, mainly due to a fine 21-3 display from 18-year-old Jamie Boardman.

In another remarkably tight game, third-placed Askam won 8-4 on games against Dalton CC, but lost the aggregate by one point in winning the match 8-7.

Keith Banks, 21-7, and Steven Davey, 21-9, earned the Cricketers those extra three aggregate points.

In a weekend of tight matches, despite losing 7-5 on games, Walney Park won the aggregate by two chalks and the match 8-7 at Hawcoat Park.

Dalton CC A lead Police A by a point at the top of Division Three.

Both collected 12 points this week, the Cricketers at home to West Mount and the Bobbies at West Mount B.
