THE PARISH Games were perfectly poised going into last night's title showdown with several teams still in with a chance of glory.

Upper Arley entered the deciding quiz night at Kidderminster Town Hall having led the table for most of the competition.

But their poor performance in last week's bridge tournament allowed Churchill & Blakedown and Wolverley and Cookley to close in.

Bridge results: 1 Stourport 10, 2 Bewdley 9, 3 Churchill & Blakedown 8, 4 Wolverley & Cookley 7, 5 Trimpley 6, 6 Upper Arley 5.

Current standings: 1 Upper Arley 55 points, 2 Churchill & Blakedown 52, 3 Wolverley & Cookley 51, 4 Trimpley 50, 5 Bewdley 33, 6 Stone 29, 7 Stourport 24 8 Rock 10.

Overall results next week.
