IT'S all to play for in division two of the Fulford Ladies Invitation Tennis league.

David Lloyd celebrated two victories over Castlegarth and, crucially, against Bishopthorpe to overtake them at the top of the table.

Boston Spa completed a miserable weekend for Bish by beating them 67-41 to stay in third place, just a point behind the top two. Dunnington remain fourth after beating a depleted Rufforth side, while Pocklington beat Appleton 71-37 to keep their hopes of avoiding the drop alive.

Sarah Blacker and Lorraine Waudby scored 30 games in Wigginton’s crushing defeat of Riccall in division three. This leaves Wig leading the table and looking strong title favourites and confirms Riccall’s relegation. Cliffe’s good run continued and saw them climb into second place after beating Poppleton, while Knaresborough upset the form book with a 62-46 win over Wistow.

Second met third in division four, with Tollerton just edging a 56-52 victory over David Lloyd to remain on course to go up. Liz Swallow and Maggie Zhang racked up 31 games for leaders Copmanthorpe in their win over Boston Spa.

Elsewhere, New Earswick and Knaresborough gained comfortable victories over under-strength Sutton and Cawood teams respectively.

Bubwith and Dunnington will be promoted from division five. Bubwith enjoyed an easy victory over Wigginton to top the table. Dunnington, though, suffered their first defeat of the season against Bishopthorpe.

It remains tight at the bottom, Stamford Bridge were unlucky to lose out by a couple of games to Copmanthorpe, while Fulford captain Janette Richardson and Liz Paxman bagged 21 games to lead their team to a 56-52 win against Heworth.

York 1 are a step closer to retaining the division one title after a straightforward win over Pocklington.

Struggling Castlegarth recorded their first win of the season against York 2, which sees the Clifton Park club drop into the lower half of the table. Dunnington eased past Fulford, Nicola and Emma Loten bagging 29 of their 74 games, while Starbeck and Poppleton fought out a draw.

David Lloyd are in second place in division six after beating Dunnington, Appleton lost ground as they were unable to field a full team so lost out to Sheriff. Leaders Wilberfoss went down to a shock 55-53 defeat at Poppleton and lost their 100 per cent record.
