CLYDEBANK & DISTRICT BOWLING ASSOCIATION The CDBA League Cup week four matches were played on Friday, August 22. Clydebank achieved their fourth win out of four games and have an unassailable lead at the top of Section A.

In the other match Singer enjoyed a convincing win against Scotstounhill but cannot qualify.

It looks like Section B has been decided as well as Old Kilpatrick had a convincing win over Yoker.

Although Dalmuir achieved a clean sheet against Victoria Park, they would need a very unlikely repeat performance against Yoker to draw level with Old Kilpatrick and a shots countback.

The Section A standings are thus: 1. Clydebank 44 points, 2. Singer 26 points, 3. Radnor Park 20 points, 4. Scotstounhill 14 points, 5. Albion 8 points.
