In Division One, Shopfitting by SWS B managed to win the phase by just one point after beating SWS D 10-0, but it was still an enjoyable match with some outstanding rallies played. With their fourth whitewash of the phase, SWS D have also been relegated.

Shopfitting by SWS E are relegated after losing 9-1 to Molyneux Associates B. Trevor Mole playing up for SWS saved the whitewash.

Molyneux Associates A fought hard to get the top spot but, as mentioned, they came up just short when Crafthole's Shirley Luckhurst beat Paul Haigh 11-9, 8-111, 11-9, 11-9 in a close encounter.

Playing though an injury, Shopfitting by SWS A's Martin Parnell could only manage a solitary team point and with the C team's Johnny Hill taking a brilliant maximum, the game ended in a draw.
