Kettering progressed through to the last eight after Group B rivals Brampton Heath crashed to a 6-1 home defeat to Whittlebury Park.
After losing 5-2 at Kettering the previous week, Brampton’s hopes of a return to form didn’t materialise as they immediately fell behind on their own course against table toppers Whittlebury losing games one and five with holes to spare.
Although Gillian Sparrow pulled one point back, the momentum stayed with the away side as they won all the remaining four games on the 18th hole.
Overstone Park finished top of Group D after a 5-2 home success against Oundle, who also progressed through to the quarter-finals in second place.
Although Glynis Wingell and Shirley Morton bagged away points, Overstone took the honours with a series of narrow wins from Gill Hodgson, Suzanne Silvester, Cathy Wiggins and Sue Evans, before Katie Watkins finished with a 4&2 victory.
Northampton and Cold Ashby led the way in Group A, while Wellingborough and Elton Furze were the teams that made it through to the quarter-finals from Group C.
