Rainham 2 fortunately drew with Anchorians 3 being hampered by a miscommunication resulting in having only two players. Rikki Clarke won all three although this included a lucky vital point in the final leg against Anchorians top player Sean McMillan where a shot clearly missing the table clipped the net and then the edge of the table. Rikki was backed up by two from dad Gary Clarke only losing in five legs to Sean, so the spoils were shared. Both Paul and an out of form Jeff Norman were unable to gain a win in this match.
