THE 20th round of fixtures in both divisions of the Blackdown Hills Skittles League took place last week with just two matches remaining for sides.

In Division A, second-placed One for the Ditch kept their back-to-back Championship hopes alive with a three-point win away over the struggling Floppers who edge ever closer to the point of no return. The Bashers won at home over the Brass Monkeys to take them four points clear of second bottom Black Run Bandits who are level with bottom side Floppers.

Hairy Ringers remain top of the pile, four clear of second.

In Division B, the top two for promotion are confirmed as Queens Knockers and the Wobbly

Wheels have confirmed their places in the top Division next year.

However, it remains to be seen who will take the title over the last fortnight of action, although the Knockers do have a three-point cushion.
