Talmondt on a roll with 97 break to join Craneswater potters at top of the chart

The reigning champions look set for their sixth-successive title but the team may be splitting up and joining other teams for a new challenge.

Pascal Richard gave them an early lead, then Chloe White and Robert Lewis wrapped up a 9-3 success at Pompey Royals.

Copnor D are also well clear after an 8-4 victory against the E team.

Wayne Rendle and Steve Green made no mistakes to stay on the promotion wagon.

Third-placed Waterlooville D were in trouble as Cowplain Gas went 5-3 ahead.

However, Steve Wilson and Darren Harper soon reversed the situation for a 7-5 success.

Emsworth B scraped through in a different fashion against North End Bowls.

Paul Merrett, Wayne Talley and John Morrison put them six ahead.

They had to wait for Matt Beardsworth to produce the winner after doubles by Colin Elliott and Richard Jones.
