Maria Thomas was positioned at second place with six points, while Frankie Farley had amassed 5½ points to round off the top three positions. The other senior player, Glenford Corlette is on 3½ points.
Anthony Drayton leads the junior category on 4½ points followed by Saeed Ali (3) Rashad Hussain (1½) Suhai Feng (½). Both Hussain and Feng were absent last weekend which has affected their scores significantly.
