TATTON’S hopes of avoiding relegation received a blow when they went down heavily at improving Alderley Union in the Knutsford and District Amateur League’s top-flight.

Fellow strugglers Mobberley B lost 6-1 at Wilmslow Cons A, who moved five points clear of the drop zone.

Shaw Heath’s hold on second spot was weakened following a slender win at Brook Street A, who claimed an aggregate bonus point thanks to Gary Long amassing 102 points in his frame success against Jim Hall.

Meanwhile champions Mobberley A extended a winning sequence to 19 matches following a 5-2 success at home to back-markers Morley.

Mobberley C took a significant step towards claiming the Division Two title when they saw off closest rivals Wilmslow Cons B, establishing a 14-point lead.

Wilmslow RBL, in third place, could not take advantage after they were edged out by promotion-hopefuls Mere B.

Mere A squeezed past clubmates Mere C, while in-form Mobberley D recorded a third successive victory by beating hosts Brook Street B.
