Ferndale A and Ridgeway A continue to match each other point for point in the race for the Division One title.

Both registered 10-0 victories, over Sandford Link C and Northside respectively, which leaves the two teams on 103 points apiece.

Sanford Link beat St Saviours A 8-2 in the most recent round of matches, with Thomas Jeffcott and Ian Neate recording three wins each. The pair also combined in the doubles to close out a win.

Elsewhere in Division One, St Saviours A defeated Ridgeway B 7-3 which ensures that they stay clear of the bottom two teams on 51 points.

Meanwhile in a bottom of the table clash between Ferndale B and Sandford Link B, Ferndale lost 4-6.

In Division Two, Nationwide B continue to push for third place and are now only two points behind Ferndale D after a 9-1 win against Swindon County Court.

Ferndale D could only manage a 7-3 win against Ridgeway D, allowing Nationwide B to gain two points on them.

Buckland A extended their lead at the top to 13 points after a thumping 9-1 win against Sandford Link E.

Ferndale C did little to close the gap after drawing 5-5 with Swindon County Court.

In Division Three, things look set to go to the wire with only four points separating the top four teams.

Ashbrake beat Ferndale E 6-4 to lie in second place, but only on points difference to Lawn B.

Third-placed Ridgeway D suffered a 2-8 loss to Sanford Link F, however the two points were enough to keep them just above Ferndale F in fourth-place. Second-bottom Buckland B were without their talisman Paul Stoner, and suffered as a result going down 1-9 to Ferndale F who now climb into contention just below the top three.
