Macclesfield’s Laura Breen won Grade 3 ahead of fellow club member Sarah Baffi.
Natasha Dixon, also from Macclesfield, won Grade 4 from Upper Beaconsfield’s Christine Meyer and Macclesfield’s Amy Veenendaal.
Grade 5 went to Macclesfield’s Chelsea Vanderaa from teammate Annabel Weiner.
In the under-eight class, Mia Wigham from Berwick finished just ahead of Macclesfield’s Darcee McCallum and Chelsea’s Jamie Warrendork.
