A HOST of promotion and relegation issues have been settled but there is still plenty to play for as the Kidderminster and District Midweek Bowling League reaches its final week of fixtures.

With some clubs still having games outstanding, the Division One title is still up for grabs for either Franche A or Bewdley A,

But at the bottom, despite losing at St Johns A, a better shot-difference keeps Franche D in the top flight.

Losses for Oldington A and St Johns Tiger Turf see both teams drop down a division.

St Johns B clinched the Division Two title with a two-shot success at St Ambrose B, with Cookley A securing second spot despite a draw with bottom-placed Royal Mail A.

Wolverley B have avoided the dreaded drop with a home win over Bewdley B with Stourport D suffering relegation to Division Three.

They will swap places with Gilt Edge D who won at home to Chester Road C to clinch the Division Three championship.

Oldington C won at relegated St Johns to secure second place. Chester Road B and St Johns C drop down a division.

Cookley B's win at St Georges BWP means they are Division Four champions with Kinver C finishing runners-up despite losing to Oldington D.

Gilt Edge A look to be joining Bewdley E in Division Five despite having one result outstanding.

They will be replaced next season by champions Franche B and runners-up Oldington F.

Franche B also recorded a two-shot victory over Gilt Edge A in the final of the Jubilee Mk2.

Cookley C finish bottom of the league.

In the Thursday League, Oldington have secured the Division One title despite a rain-affected programme leaving many games unplayed last week.

Stourport B look to have second sewn up. At the bottom, Bewdley C without a win all season, are certain for the drop, with any one of four teams in with a chance of joining them.

Bewdley B and St Ambrose will be moving up a division this year, with Stourport A narrowly missing out on promotion in their first season back in the league.

Chester Road D finish bottom of the table.
