A tight encounter with Belfast just shading it 6,4. The only player to pick up a maximum was a Belfast captain Segun Ake who has been unlucky this season losing some tight matches.  He was in tremendous form, beating Roger Morley 11,9 in the fifth leg, Alex Clarke in three and Robery Jarazoynski in four. Old warhorse Brian Lees was also instrumental for Belfast, posting a brace, but was defeated by double winnner, Roger Morley. Belfast woes in the doubles continued, with another defeat, securing Howard's fourth point.
