They were awarded a 10-0 win over TSB in a walkover result. Supermarine Ladies were also given a 10-0 walkover result against TSB.
The Wild Rockets started their third season with a 12-8 win against Research Council.
In a close-run second match against Nationwide, Rockets lost by a single point in a 10-9 thriller.
Boasting new faces, npower could only draw 7-7 against Research Council after losing two players in their first game due to injury.
It was a mixed first round for Wilts Police as they lost 8-6 to Nationwide but beat BaaBaa’s 7-6.
