Brixham Pirates opened their points account for the season, but still went down 8-2 to Torbay Academy 2, whose Herbie Sage and Dan Webster-Hall recorded maximums. The Pirates’ points were won by Ben Deakin and Martin Sharp.
Three unbeaten players encountered each other in a top of the table clash between Torbay Academy 3 and NA Falcons. All three lost sets with the leaders Academy 3 squeezing home 6-4, thanks to an all-round team performance. Jakub Piwowar and Szymon Furgol losing for the first time for the Academy, but picking up 2 wins apiece as did team mate David Crowley. The Falcons’ Giles Tushingham lost his unblemished record, losing twice. Brixham Seals’ Stuart Shipley retains his 100% start to the season as he helped his side overcome Taverners 6-4.

The two Tykes sides are going well at the top of the Third Division. Paul Hine, still unbeaten , recorded another maximum in leaders Denbury Tykes’ 7-3 win over Brixham Dolphins. Marldon Tykes came up against Dawlish Diamonds’ Bruce Freeman on good form, unable to beat him, but still securing a 6-4 win. Jean Neafcy and Stephen Tucker maximums saw Torre Tigers win the battle between the two sides promoted from Division Four, with the Tigers running out 8-2 victors over Torbay Academy 5. A tense match at Newton Abbot ended with a share of the points as NA Kestrels drew with Hasbeens who fought back well from 4-0 down.
Torbay Academy 7s whitewash victory over Brixham Swifts takes them level at the top of the Fourth Division with leaders NA Owls. The Academy’s Liam Wall, John Fowler and Kamil Sniegocki comfortably saw off the challenge from the struggling Swifts. Matt Frettsome retained his 100% singles record against the NA Owls but they were the only points his Torbay Academy 6 side got against a fine all-round performance from the Bayliss family, as the Owls ran out 7-3 victors. Adrian Tee collected all the Dawlish Dodgers’ points as they went down 6-4 to NA Ospreys, with the Ospreys’ young brothers Ben & Ollie Pead picking up their first wins, and along with Sam Hiles saw the Newton Abbot side to their first victory of the season.
