Reigning champions move within a point of pole position after whitewash win
Ketton Kingfishers clipped the wings of their club rivals the Kestrels to fly to the top of Division One in the Stamford and District Bowls League.
Their maximum 10-point win puts them just one point ahead of Langtoft Pearl who beat Blackstones D 8-2.
Close on their heels and one point behind are reigning champions Blackstones C who chopped former leaders Bourne Woods down also by 10-0. This means Bourne drop down to fourth.
At the top of Division Two, Barnack B lost to Market Overton Tornadoes, Empingham lost to Oakham Owls and in the ‘Battle of Greetham Valley’ the Eagles beat the Robins.
All three have the same number of points to remain in the top three while Wittering beat Market Overton Harriers and move up to fourth.
Barnack Vikings’ 8-2 victory against Market Deeping Regis keeps them at the top of Division Three while Market Deeping Royals’ 8-2 success against Blackstones A moved them into second above Ketton Kites who lost 9-1 to Stamford Town D who move into fourth.
