The top 2 sides met this week in Div 2 with Champions Sturdee 3 getting home 6-4 despite only fielding 2 players. Cliffe Woods would have been grateful for the 3 points conceded to them as they only managed one win on the evening with Peter Davis' 5 leg victory over Ted Tydeman. He couldn't, however, master Sturdee's other player Mike Porter who becomes the first player to beat Davis this season. Player of the Match Porter also beat Peter Mortley in 4 and Andy Larner in straight legs then teamed up with Ted to take a very close doubles 14-12 in the final leg for the 6th point. The result means that Woods need just 3 more points in their final match to guarantee 2nd spot and the chance to join Sturdee in Div 1 next season.
