CASTLE Private A captured the Northwich and District League’s Supplementary Shield for the first time after defeating top-flight rivals Rudheath in the final on Wednesday.

Undaunted by losing both Division One meetings this season, they raced into a 3-0 lead before Kevin Barry pulled a frame back.

However Aaron Leather settled the outcome by taking the next one to secure victory for Dave Cain’s side.

Greenbank A will be promoted as Division Two champions despite losing a rearranged encounter with Owley Wood the same evening.

That means season-long rivals Nectar’s will finish in second spot.

In Division One, Gladstone B brought an end to their campaign by recovering from 3-2 down to beat Green Dragon A.

Dave Swindley takes the plaudits after winning a decider.
