The Tykes go marching on in the Third Division, with both the Denbury and Marldon Tykes achieving whitewash victories over the Hasbeens and Torre Tigers respectively. Third-placed Brixham Dolphins were surprised by struggling Torbay Academy 5; the Academy’s Harrison Grainger, Craig Collins and Elsa Perry turned the tables upside down, finding their form and defeating the Dolphins 10-0. Dawlish Diamonds took over the 3^rd place spot by defeating NA Kestrels 7-3, with maximums from Bruce Freeman and Martin Charlesworth.

There was another surprising result in the Fourth Division as the leaders, Torbay Academy 7, suffered a 6-4 home defeat by a Sam Hiles-inspired NA Ospreys. Torbay Academy 6, with Matt Frettsome again leading the way, narrowly defeated Torres R Us 6-4. NA Owls, still in contention towards the top, found themselves 3-0 down to club mates the Kites, but the Bayliss family rallied around to take the next seven sets and a 7-3 victory. In an all-Dawlish clash, the Drifters defeated the Dodgers 9-1, with Tony Bussell and Don Beesley unbeaten for the Drifters. A Pete Sercombe maximum helped the NA Vultures to a 6-4 victory over Brixham Swifts.
