In the Elite division O’Connors stretched their lead at the top of the table to four points with another clinical demolition with the Rack Pack being on the wrong end of a 3-0 in sets (11-4 in frames) scoreline.

Riley’s Woolwich have moved into third and won from 5-2 down by winning the last eight frames in a row against Riley’s Rovers who are rooted to the bottom of the table after four consecutive defeats.
