The encounter at Wiveliscombe was even closer with Wivi coming out on top by just 5 points.  Man of The Match Richards took 8 singles points for Dwellers which included superb wins over Dave Woodland and Paul Nutkins.

Eddie Ferris and Martin Rant both scored maximums for Gnomads against Roys Boys.  Nigel Foster was denied his maximum by a 10-12 fifth set defeat to Barry Hooper.

White Horse improved their chances of taking the second division title with a 29-21 home win over Tonys Troopers.  In a match of no maximums Ian Rew and Colin White scored 8 singles points each for White Horse.  Their maximums were denied by fifth set defeats to Sifa Vea and Tony Burrows respectively.

superb maximum which included a fifth set win over Sifa Vea.
