Premier Division
The George will look to extend the gap in week 13 of the Summit Garage Staffordshire Premier Bowls League Premier Division as their main rivals Willenhall Nordley have a bye. They are locked on points at the moment, but a good home win over Moor Lane could provide a healthy gap going into the run-in. Moor Lane though need the points at the bottom, especially as the team above them, M&B Cheslyn Hay, have a home game against Tanworth in Arden, who will be looking to bounce back from their first home loss last week. Stretton Anglesey take on the Greville Arms looking to get into a top four position, while the Greville know they will need to win to have any chance of reclaiming the title. West Brom FSC host Moseley CC with both teams sitting in mid table and looking up rather than down at the moment.
Fixtures:
The George v Moor Lane
Stretton Anglesey v Greville Arms
M&B Cheslyn Hay v Tanworth in Arden

Division One
The top two face off in week 13 of Division One in the Summit Garage Staffordshire Premier Bowls League as 2nd placed Windmill host leaders Baddesley. Baddesley skipper Tom Lea acknowledges “the whole team knows it’s a big game and we know how strong they are at home. It’s going to be a tough one but we’ve got a strong side available and will see what happens. We would like to come away with a few points to put us one step closer to winning the league come the end of the season.” The teams behind the Windmill will look to exploit any slip up made by them. Two of those in joint 3rd meet as Triplex host Belmont Services, with both teams in recent good form. Baldwin host Victoria Park looking to get back to the form they had last month in order to give themselves a chance of at least a top 3 finish. Wrockwardine Wood host Woodfield with both teams looking for a top half finish. Wrockites captain Martin Gaut says “we’re mid table at the moment having won all our home matches so far. The target is to keep that up! We had four winners at Woodfield (albeit with a slightly different team to our usual one) so a 7-3 or better is what we’re aiming for.” Hamstead will look to bounce back from a home loss last week as they host an improved Langley side so far this second half.
