With leaders Rodney A taking their blank week the three teams just behind them all had a chance to make up ground. Second place SWMC B visited Ploughboy. They started well taking all three team games, and followed up with five singles through Darren Ware, Dennis Briggs, Eddie Maton, Dave Fairall and Alan Arthur. Ploughboy took just two through Eddy Curtis and Christ Couzins and went down 8-2.
This means WMC have levelled at the top with Rodney A. Callington CC visited Notter Bridge and had to come from behind for a 6-4 victory. Notter led 2-1 after the team games but then only managed two singles through Gary Rhodes & Rob Edge. Cricket Club took five through Steve Worley, Geoff Craven, Ian Webber, Robbie Liddicott & Bernard Pridham to get their victory.
Rodney B still in the running for league honours had a tight match at the Brunel, they came from behind three times to gain a five all draw and so keep 3rd place, 4 pts behind the leading 2 teams.
