RAINHAM 4  6  HOWARD 5  4

This match between two unbeaten teams, currently third and first in division two, lived up to all expectations with half the games going the full distance.  Sam Woodcock was the star of the show with a superb treble without going to five (which included a first defeat of Andrew Marchant).  He was backed up by Vic Hope (who also beat Andy) with a brace and a five set doubles win but Graham Watts came away with a very rare blank. Michael Leonard was Howards best player with a double (only losing to Sam) with Andy and Phil Marchant both only getting singles.
