St Denys B inflicted a heavy blow to the A side with both captains playing twice, Harry Yard was the happier of the two skippers winning both of his games against Malc Willis and a 72 point win against Mark Emm, Mark Emm got the first point on the board for the A side beating Chris Bishop but some good billiards from the B team saw the tie turned on its head, Harry levelled it 1-1 and Spencer Nelson hit some great pots as he made light work of his opponent to make it 1-2, Anthony Mitas-Pahita dedicated his victory to his Nan after she sadly passed earlier in the day and thus made it 1-3, it was another great performance from Ant on the night and seems to flourish on the Denys baize with another 30 break compiled from well worked billiards shots, his opponent Mike Hogg made him work hard for the win with Mike getting to 195 before Ant ran out with a 21 break to pip him at the line. Harry Yard ended the contest 1-5 in favour of St Denys B after the captains both made the second appearance of the night.

Paul Adams returned to league action and made an immediate impact hitting a 10 point shot! these seem to be extremely rare and happened to be Paul's first ever maximum shot! With Paul being the leagues highest handicapper this season its great to see him return to the fold and he didnt disappoint his teammates either as he got off to a winning start with the help of breaks of 31, 30 and 35 (and of course the 10 point 1 shot break) to give Churchills that early advantage. Jerry Warren made breaks of 38 and 42 in a 41 point win which now drops his handicap to -55 for the next game, Skipper Derek Foster beat Derek Fry by 17 points and Mark McLean got a first win of the season to secure a 5-1 win for Churchills against 3rd place Curdridge. Another great Clive Gamblin performance avoided a whitewash for Curdridge and its not all doom and gloom as they stay 3rd with just match wins keeping them out of second spot due to all the top half losing.

Totton Rec put out a statement victory as the demolished the leaders Park Gate 5-1! Jason Stedman delivered the star performance of the evening as he restricted Ian Finch to just 39 points, a superb 50 unfinished break put Totton in control of the aggregate bonus point and now puts Jason into unchartered handicap territory by dropping him to +10, he has produced a string of solid displays this season as his billiards knowledge seems to be pushing him to another level. Mike Trigg rolled in a league high 41 break too with Park Gate made to suffer with the home sides good form with Mike Thatcher and Tony Aldridge both securing wins to get Totton back in the top half, Mick Kunzi with a 40 break done all he could to make it a maximum but Colin Young thwarted him early on and put in his own solid performance to restrict the damage. Park Gate still hold a healthy lead but will need to avoid more heavy defeats as the chasing pack condense up behind them.

Hamble Social got a 4-2 victory over Sarisbury Social but could have been a lot more if it hadn't been for some good individual unfinished visits for the home side. Tony Spridgeon thought he was on the way to a win only to see John Oldfield run out with a 29 break with Tony sat on 198 and only a shot from the win! A similar story saw Kas Remzi run out with a 21 break with his opponent only needing 13 for the win. The rest of the games though did see Hamble get over the line with Mark Spridgeon leading the charge for the away side, Rob Shattock and Paul Knights both also registered wins to claim the aggregate and the 4-2 result. With all the bottom teams winning Hamble remain at the foot of the table but with a game in hand and some confidence as they host St Denys B in the next encounter.
