NORTHANTS A toppled southern section leaders Hunts to go 12 points clear at the top as they bid to qualify for the Derbyshire Trophy final.
They made it three wins out of three with a maximum 14 points haul against their local rivals at Stamford, winning 111-85.
They resume their programme after Christmas with visits to defending champions Lincs, who have only played one game so far, and Norfolk.
Although Northants ‘whitewashed’ their opponents, the margin of victory in three of the four rinks was in single figures, and the other one, skipped by Tristan Morton, was only 12.
