Status quo at top of table after leading quartet win

Second placed Porters A returned from City Social with an 8-3 victory while Indian A, in third, achieved the same winning scoreline from their visit to Maritime B.

Simon Washington for the hosts, however, won the plaudits when he top-scored with 15 throws of a ton more, 10 of which came in a 3-0 singles success.
