In the Piper Window Systems Division Two, a top-of-the-table clash at the Ex Service saw Spitfires play host to leaders Liberal Lads.

Spitfires found themselves 4-0 down but Lee Woods gave them hope of a draw by winning the last singles.

Vine Allstars have had some amazing results of late and must have fancied their chances against lowly Liberal Us.

But the Liberal soon raced into a 4-0 lead with Hayley Reeson (3x100, 134) being their star.
