Unfortunately, Telstars made the score line look a lot harsher than it could have been, winning 9-1.

New Kids were also playing Tass last week and this time they were not on the receiving end.

Tass could only field two players due to a late call-off and were dominated by the New Kids, who only lost one late match, hence reversing the score of their previous match to win 9-1.

Truants were receiving the same team (Tass) at home, and had called on Howard Lee as a reserve and he he was undefeated all night, winning all three singles and the doubles with Graham Wood, who also won his matches.
