Week 11 of the Middlesea Valletta Life National League produced a matching pair of 8-0 wins for table-toppers Fina First against HSBC, and chasers Aercomms against PharmaVet. Third-placed Globalair Travel maintained their assault on the top placings with a fifth consecutive win.
Royal Shock got the better of Inlusion 6-2 while Turu's Knights took all eight points from their table-bottom clash with The Clan.
Globalair Travel's winning run rolled on to its fifth week thanks to a 6-2 victory over fifth-placed Ramis.
They opened the scoring with a 675-743 win in game one, but Ramis managed to square the match after the second of the set, which they won by a mere two pins (735-733).
Globalair held a 66-pin advantage going into the deciding game, and clinched it 725-769 for the match.
Fina First stayed eight points ahead at the top after their comfortable win over HSBC, who dropped to eighth place.
Game one could easily have gone either way, Fina scraping past their opponents by eight pins, 757-749.
Game two was only slightly more open, falling 836-814 to Fina to make it 4-0, and then game three saw a clear 898-677 win for the defending champions to complete the whitewash.
Aercomms registered the highest series of the week on 2,494 pins (just three ahead of Fina's 2,491) during their thrashing of sixth-placed PharmaVet.
The rout began with a convincing 830-668 win in game one, and Aercomms then doubled their lead with an 879-783 result in game two.
The match was surely in Aercomms's bag with one game to go, and they won that with a closer 788-761 scoreline for the full-point victory.
