The top two in the Honiton Skittle League were both winners in the latest round of matches and remain locked in what increasingly looks to be a two-team title race in terms of the Division One top honour.

Scruffs won a close encounter at Vine A where they were 328-324 victors while Offwell had an easier time as they won by 17 pins in their meeting with Three Tuns.

The highest individual score in the latest action was the 81 scored by E Williams of Division Three mid-table Highfield.
