Chatham look well set for runners up spot after a 10.0 thrashing of Rainham. Mark Steeden fresh from last weeks victory over Dean Chipperfield, almost picked off another excellent scalp, in Martin Birley, but the Chatham player showed his class in coming back from two down to win 11,5 in the fifth. Mark Buckley picked us his customary treble but was made to fight by Dave Barr, who managed to scrape a leg 13,11, before losing in four. Stuart Fritter also went undefeated, losing just one leg in his maximum
