Identical wins for front duo

Week 13 of the National League at the SuperBowl saw Ramis move up to third place thanks to their 8-0 hammering of PharmaVet, who stayed in the second relegation spot.

Leaders Fina First and challengers Aercomms both racked up 8-0 wins against Globalair Travel and Inlusion respectively to drift further ahead of the field, while in other matches there was a 6-2 win for Turu's Knights against HSBC, and the match between bottom side The Clan and fourth-placed Royal Shock ended all square.

Fina stayed eight points ahead at the top after their 8-0 thrashing of Globalair Travel, the latter dropping two spots to fifth with the defeat.

Fina opened the scoring with a 788-735 game one win, and then made it 4-0 thanks to a one-sided 857-745 victory in the second of the series.

Game three was closer, the defending champions clinching it 744-704 to complete the rout.

Aercomms' solid 8-0 win over Inlusion meant that they remained eight points behind Fina but are now a whole 16 points ahead of third place.

Aercomms were rarely troubled by their opponents, the opening 763-719 result proving the closest of the set. Aercomms soared to a huge 834-665 win in game two, and the final 776-703 game three win was the cherry on their victory cake.
