Rudheath A played at home against Owley Wood A and both teams managed five winners. Rudheath came out on top 184-163 and their bowler Glyn Walton was the star performer with 21-6.
A surprising result as 11th placed Shavington A had eight winners at home to Frodsham Red Lion A, a team fighting for fourth place. Shavington won the game 182-150 while home bowler Adam Bloor and Frodsham’s Yan Wakefield shared the best result 21-6.
