8 useful points for Basildon E at Canvey B's expense which will help their promotion prospects at the end of the season. Unfortunately for the visitors Geoff Banthorpe suffered a fall at the end of the fifth game with Steve Lennox with the result in the balance at 9-8. Geoff suffered a large gash in his finger which prevented any further participation in the match. Ageless Wes Wiseman picked up the two points for Canvey but was unable to overcome Satwant Gill, unbeaten for the home side. Youngster Nel Nelson, although outclassed by his experience opponents, showed good promise for the future.
