Morning: Ian Wilson (8) and Colin Hadley (20) lost to Eddie Schaffert (10) and Bob Savage (10) by 5 points, Tony Backhouse (8) lost to Alan Schaffert (10) by 21 points.

In spite of the results, the battle was fought in good spirit and finished with much tactical discussion and technical comment over an excellent cream tea, generously provided by our hosts.
