COUNTY president Rosemary Spetch led from the front when Dorset defeated Gloucestershire 18-4 (131-103) in the South-West Counties Women's League at Wimborne.
The Poole Park skip combined with Pamela Daters (Bridport), Wendy Hardy (Poole Park) and Wimborne's Jenny Andrews for a 26-13 victory the biggest of Dorset's four wins.
Other successes came from Bridport's Sue Hosking (23-13) and Greenhill twosome Margaret Mitchell (30-22) and Sheila Baker (17-14) as Dorset put themselves in good heart for this week's visit to Cornwall.
Beaten skips were Freda Yates of Blandford (21-16) and county secretary Nancy Bennett from Poole Park (21-20).
MOORS CLINCH WIN
West Moors squeezed past Lyme Regis 38-37 on an extra end in their June Culpin Trophy first-round match thanks to Janet Price whose 24-15 win outweighed the 22-14 defeat of Jean Anderson.
Julie Stringer (23-12) and Rosemary Butler (21-19) steered Ferndown through 44-31 against Broadstone while Pat Dowling (29-17) was the Verwood heroine in the 50-40 triumph against Sherborne who struck back through Jean Nunn (23-21).
Poole Park (against Shaftesbury) and Alexandra Park (against Wimborne) had walkovers.
