Three teams only retain unbeaten tag

TWO teams lost for the first time in the Porters Function Room 501 Top 20 League, leaving three with an unbeaten record, just four weeks into a new campaign.

They hit no fewer than 62 scores of a ton or more in their demolition of the Pennycross outfit and had five players hitting more than 10 tons each.

Maritime Marauders are in second spot and in winning 10-1 away at Duchy of Cornwall, won all six singles dropping just two legs.
