Castlefields edge closer to the safety line
Castlefields took another big step towards survival in their debut Summit League Premier Division campaign with a 9-1 (156-106) victory over Windmill.
The All Saints Recreation Ground outfit had targeted the home clash with second-bottom side Windmill as a fixture to pull away from the drop-zone.
