They must have been getting the Cocoa ready at the hut this week as these two sides contested an incredibly close match with 7 of the 10 games going the distance. Slav Arnaudov and Phil Humphries scored braces for the visitors and then teamed up to take the Doubles and salvage a draw. David East was Dorset's 3rd player and had one of those nights. He could easily have won all his games but ended up pointless losing in the 5th leg to each of the Rainham trio of Mick Hambelton, John Coleman and Tim Davie. John and Tim added wins against Phil and Slav respectively.
