Leeman's Toni Smallwood secured the lower divisions championship with a 2-1 win against Cygnet 'B's Joan Cockerill - both players hitting their share of tons.

Cueball's pairing Angie Hields-Tracey Farmeary romped away with the pairs title beating Kerr and Julie Coyle 2-0. The losers were joined by Michelle Britton and successfully defended their triples title against Clifton's Ruth Norman-Liz Richford and Karen Hodgson.

Joan Hunter (Cueball 'A'), partnering Cygnet 'A's Dawn Exton, went one down in the Elsie Bell drawn pairs final to Kerr and Clifton 'B's Linda Embleton. Hunter checked on 72 to set up the decider which saw partner Exton close on double eight.

Embleton was joined by Julie Maycock in the captain/vice captain's cup but lost out to Phoenix's Diane Moreland-Babs Harrison.
