WARRINGTON Town beat Jasmine to draw level with Hawthorne at the top of the Inn Partnership Summer Dominoes League Division One table.

They were helped in no small measure by a first half in which Hawthorne were caught napping by London Bridge.

Orford A won at Kings and went into third place while Con Keys overcame their hosts Conservative Club A.

Rose Inn are flying away with the Division Two title after winning at Royal Oak Branch, a not too difficult feat as the Branch have now lost seven matches on the trot.

The third division is led by Railway Latchford despite them being held to a draw by Jack Byrne's Black Bear team, which came strong after the interval to snatch a point.

Penny Ferry had a good win at home to Red Lion and along with Golden Lion they are the main dangers to Railway.

Cons Club B were held to a draw at Manx Arms and Albion, who are emerging as major threats for the Division Four title, were also held to a draw at Howley.

Howley fought back well despite some poor form of their heroes and some talented players on the sidelines.
