In the Silver Division, Frances Friend edged into the lead with 33 points, leaving Lyn Chambers a very close second with 32. Liz Smith was third with 30.
In the Bronze Division Chris Parkinson strode into the lead with an outstanding 39 points to give her top position.
Jan Titley also earned 39 to take second place on countback, leaving Juliet Bourne third with 36 points.
