ANCHORIANS  5  8  LUTON INVICTA  5  2

Although Anchorians won this match convincingly the two points that they dropped as Mary Ball beat both John Barker and Jack Lolljawaheer means that Howard 5 can't be caught at the top.  Despite Mary's efforts Dave Thompson and Lawrie Wilkie couldn't give her any support.  That coupled with Michael Barker's fine treble, done without dropping a set means that Anchorians will probably finish as runners-up, a position they currently occupy with thirty points plus between them and Rainham 4.  Luton are currently 11th.
