KA HALE A and Levens A have both set of this season in Division One of the Kendal and District League at a gallop.

KA Hale A’s second match of the season resulted in 9-1 win against Staveley A, while Levens A won 10-0 against newly promoted Arnside A. Both teams tie for first place in the division with 18 out of the possible 20 points.

However, closely behind are Crosthwaite A, after a comfortable 8-2 win over KA Hale B.

For the second consecutive week, both Netherfield A and B secured the same 6-4 winning result, Netherfield A away at Windermere A and Netherfield B at home to Abbot Hall A.
