Female champion Geua John continued her top form for Lamana 2. 

In another close game, leaders Starland Freezers Dragons 2 beat GAL Topshooters 4-3.

Best for Dragons was Djorne Fong, while Sean McCarthy was tops for the shooters. 

At the Car Club, Lamana 1 beat the PMMI Bomana Bullets 4-3. Best for Lamana was Romy Ramesh, while Warren Gai, after beating Yiannis Nicoloau 2-0, was Bullets best.  The other match was a nail-biter with Starland Freezers Dragons 1 winning the last two doubles to clinch a 4-3 victory over Sunbird Aviation Falcons.

Best for Falcons was Ralph Kaina, while skipper Joey Chan, who starred in both his singles and doubles, did it for the Dragons.
