Scorpions had Ivan Hewitt in good form in their win against Wensum B who had Marcus Pearson and Howard Jones showing some true potential.
Norwich Union were indebted to Phil Henry for a brace of wins against Remploy.
CEYMS C had an early bath against Hospitals A who took full adavantage of the handicap against a team from the same division.
Colin Jenkinson's double for Shelly Telly could not prevent the newcomers from going down to Missionaries who had Mary Sawyer and Dennis Elliott in sparkling form.

Foxwood, Tacerham C and EGC Tiles all progress after relatively straightforward wins.
