With the top three positions previously decided in Division One, champions Kingfisher A cemented their top position with a 9-1 victory over Tidmarsh A.

Young Rishaan Sawant earned himself his first player of the match award and Ross Saxby also remained unbeaten.

Antony Baker scored a cracking victory over Darren Jones to avoid the whitewash. A similar situation ensued as second-placed Sonning Common & Peppard A brushed aside their B team who are still attempting to rise above the second relegation spot by a 9-1 scoreline. It was Tom Astle who shocked Gary Morgan to earn a valuable point.

Two of the other teams battling for survival faced each other in a tight 5-5 result as Kingfisher D’s Georgi Ivanov and Mike Douglas won two each.

But neither could stop Sonning Common & Peppard C’s Danny Dockree to his maximum. Kingfisher C made their bid for fourth place clear as they pushed aside the now-confirmed bottom side Sonning Common & Peppard D 10-0.

It was plain sailing for Alan Cummings, Matt Isherwood and Phil Mead. Keith Winter ensured his Tilehurst RBL A squad stayed ahead of Sonning Sports A as they ran out 7-3 winners and confirm Sonning Sports final place in seventh.

The top two teams in Division Two played each other with Reading FC beating Kingfisher F 8-2, a result which confirmed Reading FC as champions.

The two points gained by Kingfisher F means they are guaranteed to finish runners up.

The set of the night saw Simon Rowland recover from two games down to beat Clive Gold 11-6 in the fifth. In the Tidmarsh derby the C team beat the B team 6-4 despite a great three straight maximum for the B’s Francis Durand.

Our Lady of Peace A look to have secured third place following their 7-3 win at Tilehurst RBL B. Kate Maksimenko secured a fine maximum for Tilehurst including beating Darek Kaminski 11-9 in the fifth.

Springfield A and Pangbourne WMC drew 5-5 with Matt Hickman getting a maximum for Springfield, while Pangbourne also played a rearranged match against the bottom team Kingfisher H running out 8-2 winners. Kingfisher’s Steve Woolnough had two good wins in five in this match.

In Division Three it was a dramatic end. Both title contenders faced tough opponents. Despite losing the OLOP derby 6-4, Our Lady of Peace C got four points, which were enough to guarantee the title as second placed Kingfisher I drew at Tidmarsh D.

Eyup Odemis from the away team was the POM with a treble, but the highlight of the match was Ray Webb beating Huzeyfe Borazan 3-2, coming from 2-1 down to win 5-11, 11-8, 7-11, 11-9, 11-3.

Our Lady of Peace B won against their C team 6-4. As anticipated, Jacek Piechocki had another treble and completed the season with his perfect run. He did not even drop a set against the champions, which was impressive.

Tilehurst Methodists C lost 9-1 to Sonning Common & Peppard E, their only point came from Lewis Oke. Ian Davenport and Jeremy Willis had trebles for the away team. Sonning Sports B beat Kingfisher J 8-2.

Peter Wilson from away team got their teams two points whereas the home teams star was James Miller, where he played up again for his team and had another treble.

In the last match of the week Tilehurst Methodists B beat Our Lady of Peace D 6-4. Nigel Rowland from away team had the treble and helped his team win the away game.
