Contest at top of West 1 is intriguing - big game at Viewfield on 22nd that might decide title winners.

West Region results from 1st March for the Mens leagues.
Still plenty to play for in each league with promotion and relegation battles still to be concluded.

It's the last game day before the festive break. Shops will be busy, so you're far better off spending the afternoon at the Club, giving thanks to those who make the magic happen on the pitch.
