The top 2, Meopham A and Dartfordians A met for their second meeting of the season in what turned out to be a cracking match. Both sides had strong teams although Peter Davis was playing in Bromley Dartfordians called upon Richard Jackman, Ian Martin and Wayne Holder. For Meopham Dave McAulay played well to win all 3 but 2 of those wins were 17-15 in the 5th against Ian Martin having had 6 match points against him and being 10-5 down in the last game. He also beat Wayne Holder 12-10 in the 5th having looked likely to lose. John Boreham also won 3 although his were more comfortable both Jackman and Martin took games off him.

Jackman and Martin also won the doubles but the 8-2 win for Meopham A puts them in a very strong position to retain the title. A very good standard of table tennis was seen in all the matches in which John Boreham was seen to move on occasions!
