Invicta Sunderland beat Yarm 4-0 to keep top spot in the North Division and have six points lead over Tennis World Middlesbrough.

The Teessiders also had a comfortable victory over North Yorkshire.

David Lloyd Stockton and Academy Harrogate are jointly three points behind, last week's match between them ending in favour of the Thornaby-based centre over an under-strength Academy.

Puma Sunderland got back to winning ways over Yale who did pick up their first point though they are still at the bottom of the table.

Tennis World and David Lloyd meet each other next week to catch up their fixtures and try to gain ground on Invicta.
