THE race for the Denbigh and District has well and truly hotted up over the last two weeks.

On Tuesday, August 7, with the league drawing to a close it was important for the top teams to win to stay in the hunt for top spot and the Golden A would have been looking for maximum points.

But, the Hand B had other ideas and won only their 5th game of the season 4-3, handing the Golden only their third loss all season to blow the title race wide open.

In the other games, the Masons were on form again destroying the Kentigern by a 6-1 score line for a second week in a row and the Hand A narrowly lost out 4-3 to the Golden B.

The match between the Plough and the Wings was postponed due to the Plough being unable to raise a team.

On the following Tuesday, September 14, there was a ‘golden’ opportunity for the Golden A to take a big step towards the championship once more and this time they took that opportunity by beating their fellow Lions 7-0.

The Wings needed a big win against the Hand A to keep on the heels of the Golden A at the top but missed the opportunity losing by the narrowest of scoreline 4-3 and the Hand B continued their blistering form since the restart by beating the Mason men 4-3.

Game of the season takes place on Tuesday as the championship is decided between Golden A v Wings with the Golden A needing only 2 games to win.

Last night’s fixtures were as follows:

Cons v Hand B

Golden A v Wings

Masons v Golden B

There was some sad news last week also as the Plough pulled out of the league.
