F TROOP lead the Ledbury Skittle League Division One after their top-of-the-table game saw them soundly defeat the Brewery Pirates with G Vernall and R Gladwin top scoring with 43.

The Beer Squad moved up to joint second winning by just four pins against a boisterous Who side.

Promoted sides the Dreamers are more than holding their own while the Mixers have picked up seven points from their last five games.

Relegated Dymock Demons are hoping for a swift return to the top flight as they lead Division Two with the Brewery, Colwall Legion and Take That in close pursuit just two points behind.
