Ribby Hall A likewise trounced their own B team to stay in the promotion hunt. B team managed 2 split games in the mens and 2 in the mixed. Anita & Emma both with 8 for the winners and Dave winning 3 games for the losers. Big effort from the B team who managed to put a full team out despite illness's.
The pressure was on Hesketh B to keep up their unbeaten run and stay ahead of the chasing pack. The match against Stanley B started with their ladies winning 5 and their men winning 4 for a healthy 9-3 lead. Going into the mixed Stanley gave Hesketh a scare by winning the 1st set but Hesketh replied winning the 2nd.

Vanessa & Andy Manson both won 7 for the leaders and Steve Whyatt played very well to win 5 games for Stanley.
