The Brickmakers Arms B have almost booked their top-two spot after a 4-2 win at home to the Plough & Harrow B, Tilmanstone.  All the singles went to the Brickies with victories for Warren Cowdrey (3,110), Rick Cowdrey (3,110) and Shirley Cowdrey (1,720).  The Plough fought back in the doubles as Phil Court & Gerald Gilbert defeated Dave Howarth & Rick Cowdrey 2,130-1,520, and then Gilbert & Harry Pearson (2,280) also won.  A close and crucial final leg was eventually won 2,100-1,780 by Warren Cowdrey & Dawn Williams against Pearson & Court to claim the match and the bonus points.
