SANDRA Bruce included scores of 135 and 121 for her 19-darter for Ox in their York John Smith Ladies League division two encounter at Acomb.

But Acomb cleaned up in the pairs with Rose Gatenby-Kate Walker securing a last game victory.

Slipper kept their noses in front after Sue Tate-Doreen Johnstone secured a last-gasp win at Beeswing.

The pack are quickly catching up with division one front-runners Cueball who soon found themselves 3-0 down to visitors Cygnet C' before Lynne Clapham put them on the score-sheet.

Cygnet had double-ton scores in Sarah Nicklin, Dawn Exton and Amanda Britton, but finishing let them down as they fell 6-3.

Clifton A' are close on the heels of Cueball after coming back from 3-1 to beat their B' team 6-3. Pat Nelson started the winning surge.

In division three, Tiger kept their unbeaten run going with a 6-3 win against Volunteer A' which included a lone-handed pairs win from Shaz Byram.

Tramways pipped close rivals Shepherd B' to the post, Sam Stewart-Chris Robinson sealing the result.

Division four leaders Mitre were 6-3 victors against Tap, the score not giving a true reflection of a closely-fought contest.

Jubilee moved within striking distance of second place, the axis of Tracey Yeomans and Julie Oliver starring for Jubilee.

Cueball were prevented from a full house by Swan's Anna Frost who had won the opener.

Dot Sellars starred for Volunteer B' as Colette Wilson-Sarah Thompson secured a last-stride win against Brigadier.
