THE top two in the first division of the Northwich & District Pool League meet tonight in a match that will have a big influence on the outcome of the championship.
Rudheath and Winnington Park continued to pull away from the rest of the pack with wins last Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Barnton BL also recorded their second consecutive 7-0 win when they beat Green Dragon A.
At the foot of the table Owley Wood's 4-3 defeat by Coachman A leaves them struggling to get away from the bottom.
In Division Two, Blue Barrel look comfortable with a 17-point lead, while in the battle fro second place Green Dragon B beat Farmers Arms 6-1 to put them neck and neck.
