WCC B had arguably a much better performance in a 6-4 loss to a strong Rugby A.

Matthew Outhwaite’s presence was the crucial factor as he won three and paired with Ryan Lines for the doubles, Lines notching the other two points.

Once again Griew was WCC’s star with two fine wins allied to singles from Green and Martin Hunter.

Early Division Two leaders Free Church C were shown little respect by their D team who shocked them 6-4 thanks mainly to Adam Cofler’s outstanding treble. Cherrylyn Matthews and Anthony Smith each won once and Smith joined Cofler to snatch the doubles. Chris Blowey won twice for C.
