CHAMPIONS Leopards made an ominously impressive start to the new Mid-Cheshire Super League season with a whitewash of guests Tigers.

Geoff Cummings, Winston Duff and Andy Town completed their trio.

Ray Worthington was unbeaten too, for Sparks, as they shared the spoils with Cobras in the other Division One fixture.

Debutants Blades, boosted by double success for Adam Ryder and Jakes Tyles, edged out Lemmings in Division Two.

Hawks edged Wolves in the same section, with Matt Lafferty and Jeff Slowley winning two head-to-heads each.

Kinetics proved simply too strong for newcomers Middlewich High School in Division Three, where George Berry, John Lewis and Martin Selby returned unblemished cards.

Rangers, for whom Tom Doughty avoided defeat, got the better of Vikings after a close encounter.

The campaign resumes this week.
