BOWLS: WHITE Hart bounced back from a heavy defeat at Ward End last week to gain a nail-baiting one-shot home victory over Banbury in Premier Division Four of the Warwick and Worcester League.

There were wins for Mick Perrins, Tim Hollingshead, Dave Kings, Mike Estell, Sheila Humphreys and captain Stan Pritchard.

White Hart’s Wednesday team jumped to the top of Yardley Wood and District Division Three after completing the double over local rivals Alcester B, with wins for captain Paul Matthews, Hollingshead and Gill Croft.
