Business as usual in Group C as the Lion won 5-1, this time at the Alma .  Early singles successes for Wack Sampson (3660) and Neville Potts (4300) gave a 2-0 lead to the Lion, but Harry Pearson & Bill Edwards took the first doubles to give the Alma hope.  Terry Laslett was in form as he partnered Wack Sampson to a 4900-3910 win, and a rearranged singles game saw Tim Hayes (2740) secure the bonus points.  In the final doubles Terry Laslett knocked his second maximum 2000 break of the evening as he and Hayes beat Rick Cowdrey & Harry Pearson 4840-3720.
