The trio share the same points, with little variation in shots difference.

Wickaholics held on to first place after scraping a 14-13 win against Barracudas, but SOS moved into second spot thanks to improving their shots difference with a 19-10 victory over Falcons.

Dreamers are third after hanging on to beat Smilers 15-14.

* There was no change at the top of the Evening Fours League where APS just came through 11-9 against Blossom Way to maintain a four-point lead ahead of Fast Shippers.

The second-placed team enjoyed a convincing victory over Stags, while Roundheads are third after a 15-13 win against Alford.

* Ladies’ League leaders Canaries suffered a 16-11 defeat to Woodentops and saw their advantage cut to two points as Follies beat Ladybirds 17-8.

Birdies moved away from the bottom with two excellent wins against third-placed Jaytones (10-8) and Tyros (12-8).

* There was a first win of the campaign for Yvonne Cooper and Derek Tomlin in the Friday Mixed Pairs as they beat Vic and Wendy White 19-11 to move themselves off the bottom rung.

Pete and Wendy Neve also recorded their first victory in Division Three of the Australian Pairs in what was a family affair, winning 21-11 against son Chris and Wendy’s brother Richard Tyrell.

* Morning Triples League leaders Pips suffered two defeats, including a crucial 18-6 loss to Backwoodsmen who are now just one point behind the top team and with two games in hand.

* Saturday night’s social evening with horse racing and a basket meal was enjoyed by all, especially the lucky group who went home £78 richer after their horse won a photo finish in the final race.

The club thanks organisers Rick, Dot, AJ and Carol for the smooth running of the evening.
