In the Third Division, Marldon Tykes are sitting pretty at the top watching the fight for the runners-up spot. Second- placed Brixham Diamonds suffered a 3-7 defeat to NA Hawks, who had a good week, securing a whitewash victory over bottom side Dawlish Drifters, before overhauling the Diamonds to claim the runners-up spot. Mike Coxhead took maximums in both matches. New signing Ben Swettenham also impressed for the Hawks.  Brixham Dolphins, helped by another Nick Shipley maximum, saw off a strong challenge from Torre Bats winning 6-4, and with their games in hand will be eyeing up the runners-up position.

Battlers, struggling at the foot of the First Division, were whitewashed by Torbay Academy 2 - Kris Piwowar’s side dropping just 2 games as the dominant Academy side won 9 of the 10 sets 3-0. Dan Webster-Hall stepped up from the Second Division and with Daniel Barnett provided the support for Piwowar.

The battle between the 2 Brixham sides in the Fourth Division was won by the Swifts who beat Panthers 9-1

Torbay Academy are again dominating in the Cup competitions.  Current holders of both Cup competitions Torbay Academy 1, had to fight all the way to reach the Dyment Doubles semi-finals. NA Buzzards took an early 2-0 lead but lost the next 3 and could not get in front again. At 4-4, the unbeaten Buzzards pair of Mike Dummett & Ed Crawford lost out to the unbeaten Academy pair of Simon Furgol & Greg Wojtowicz, who sent the Academy 1 side through to face NA Owls in the semi-final.  The other semi-final is between Torbay Academy 6 who easily defeated NA Eagles 5-0, and Torbay Academy 2.
