In Section B, Nige Mumby and John Ford put Westlands D into a 2-0 lead at struggling Grimsby Police B.

It got worse for the hosts when Ken Hayes and Alec Cowie were far too strong for their opponents and made it 4-0.

The next two frames were closer but still went the visitors' way, and then Byron Hatfield and G Clark completed the slam.

After four frames between Clee Cons C and Webbonet Web Design the score was locked at 2-2. Mick Springhall and Paul Lidgard took the next for Cons before promotion rivals Webbonet took the last courtesy of Mick Forster and Dave Webster.
