In the second division Curtis Sage was in excellent form for his NA Owls, collecting a superb maximum against a strong Dawlish Aces outfit, but that was as good as it got for the Owls as the Aces won 7-3. Brixham Trawlers edged a 6-4 win at NA Falcons thanks to a fine maximum from Ian Saxby.

In the third division another David Pearson maximum for The Grove was enough to seal a narrow 6-4 victory over Torbay Academy 5 and maintain their unbeaten record. Another Keith Haslam maximum for his NA Harriers team helped them see off the challenge from Torre Tornadoes, 7-3 to the Harriers. An all Newton Abbot clash between the NA Hawks and NA Kestrels ended with a narrow 6-4 victory for the Kestrels thanks to maximums from both Andy Millman and Rob Williams.
