Division 2

Rams secured back-to-back wins for only the second time this season after defeating Team G 8-1. They raced into an 8-0 lead before Robert Gee expertly defeated Dave Melbourne to give Team G a consolation, however Gee or his peers could do nothing to prevent Darrell Mann or Shaun Forbes.
Keighley Nomads were made to work hard for their victory before overcoming Tribal 1 5-4. A superb treble from Tribal's Michael Bush gave his side a chance. However, two wins from Robert Yorke and Stefan Cyhanko, plus one from Rod Fotherby gave Keighley a narrow victory.
Division 3
Leopards moved to within two points of the top of Division 3 with a 7-2 win over Rainbow 1. With only two men present for Rainbow, Leopards had one eye on catching ground Ramsbridge. However, Alireza Khalili had other ideas, as he beat both Jake Challenger and Ronnie McNamara, although he couldn't beat Richard Musgrove, who has now lost just one of his last 19 sets.
Leopards did however catch two points up on their title rivals as Ramsbridge lost 5-4 to Netamatix. A superb treble from Michael Craven paved the way for his side, with John Wasilewski and Martyn Halliday securing one each for Netamatix. It was a surprise defeat for Ramsbridge, who suffered only their second defeat of the season.
