The A team captain, having just returned from holiday, fought valiantly but unfortunately for Alcester, could not quite find winning form

The second half saw four fantastic jacks from Ron Hawksley 21-8, Dave Hovell and Renny Bannister, both 21-10, and Peter Barber 21-14, which brought the game thoroughly into Alcester's hands with seven winners out of eight to give Alcester a well deserved victory.

The B team, meanwhile, were away to Woodbourne.

The game got off to a bad start, leaving them with an uphill struggle if they were going to pull out an away win.
