LADIES - ROUND 3 - TOP 18:
Top 8 qualify for round robin matchplay.

With just 220 points between first and 18th place, this round is nail-biting. Only eight places are available for the next round, the round robin, from which four will proceed to the stepladder final and that octet currently contains two past champions, the defending champion Brenda Pratt from Burton-on-Trent, England and Malta's Doris Camilleri. Double champion Farida Pascoal-Blom of the Netherlands lay a little back in tenth.

Going into the four-game set, Sweden's Sonja Ostlund held pole position with a 19-pin buffer over Catherine Roux of France but with fast bowling of just one person per lane things were rapidly a'changing.

After the final balls of the squad had been rolled it turned out to the unique situation of seven nations in the final octet, two Swedes, one French, one Italian, one American, one Belgian, one English and one Maltese.

Whilst Sonja Ostlund of Sweden dropped from first place to fourth, it was Catherine Roux (pictured) who dominated the squad to take over pole position and Hildegard Kuhn of Italy slipped into second.

Just fifty per cent of accrued pinfall is now carried forward to the round robin.

The top 18 men open the program on Sunday morning at 09:00 and both the men's and women's round robins will commence at noon.

The top four men and four women will contest the stepladder finals from 16:00.
