THE title race in the Calderdale Evening League is now effectively down to two teams, Arden A and Huddersfield A.
Courier A met Huddersfield A for the second time in a week after last week's rearrangement but missed their chance of victory when Robert Sutcliffe's hard fought win over Mike Huett stole a point for Huddersfield.

Arden A stayed in contention aft
er winning a tight game at Hebden Bridge A.

Both teams were below strength but wins for Robert Clegg and Angel Gonzales proved decisive for Arden despite a good debut win for Hebden's John Stapleford.

With leaders Hebden having just one game left, the title could come down to the outstanding match between Arden and Huddersfield.

Matches to play - Arden A: Brighouse (home), Huddersfield (home), Courier B (away).

Huddersfield: Brighouse (home), Arden (away), Hebden Bridge A (home), Hebden Bridge B (away).

Individual: J. Morgan, Courier A 7/9. M. Corbett, Arden A 6.5/8. J. Kerrane, Hebden A 6/9. D. Patrick, Courier A 6/9. D. Wedge, Hebden A 6/10. A. Leatherbarrow, Hebden A 6/11.
