beat Simon Hart & Nick Corck
1900-1810. Corck & Paul

Holmwood 1790-1260, the match was
secure for the Oak.
The final two doubles fell
comfortably to the visitors, Cousens
& Smith high-scoring with 2660.
Another impressive display for the

to the Magnet B, stretched their
lead in Group B. Chris Saville
(10060), Neville Potts (10890) and
Wack Sampson (8080) were all in
excellent form as they took the
singles comfortably, but the doubles
were closer.
Terry Laslett played
exceptionally well in all three
doubles as he partnered Saville,
Potts & Sampson to victory,
although the Magnet were unlucky to
finish without a point. Tanya
Philpott was particularly
unfortunate, losing goods breaks in
her doubles.
The Fitzwalter Arms and the Butchers
Arms drew 3-3, leaving the other
qualifying places in Group B very
open. Mark Graves (4140) and
Roger Oldfield (1830) gave the Fitz

(1680) pegged back their lead.
Graves
