The league leaders took on lowly Barkingside Royals, but succumbed to a shock 8-5 loss to suffer their first defeat of the season.

Beehive Arrows, who sit second, were unable to fully capitalise on that slip-up as they went down 7-6 to Eastwood, who prop up the standings.

Cruisers were the big winners of the week as they eased to an 11-2 success over Abbots in a fixture that saw Heath Lighten throw a maximum.

The other match of the week saw Parks edge out Loxford in a 7-6 thriller.

After the latest round of results, Lainy’s Mob remain at the top of the table with a 31-point lead over Beehive Arrows.

Despite their win, Eastwood remain rooted to the bottom of the standings with a 10-point gap to Barkingside Royals.
