Simon Lafferty won all three of his singles head-to-heads for Raptors in an 8-2 win at Bears.

The first four teams in Group Two are separated by just six points.

Daresbury occupy top spot following an emphatic 9-1 win at Rangers, but Valiants are close behind after inflicting a third home defeat of the campaign on Snakes.

Winsford Locke brushed aside Romans without dropping a game, while fourth-placed Vikings swap places with Wolves after an 8-2 victory on their travels.
