There was a top of the table clash in Division I, but even the absence of Kevin Ashman couldn't help Atletico, who went down at home to Allsorts. Allsorts are now 2 points clear, still unbeaten, and with a game in hand, so even at this early stage in the season must be hot favourites for the title.
Chester Army in 3rd place had a week off, while Priory Nomads beat Barbican on the last question, after being behind throughout the game. Rising Sons and Animals had comfortable wins over Telstars and Bread & Roses respectively, so there is now a gap opening between the bottom three (Barbican, Bread & Roses & Telstars) and the rest of the field. Three joint top scorers in the Division, all with 19 points: Mike Billson (Rising Sons), David Lea (Animals) and Robert Willer (Atletico).
Still unbeaten at the top of Division II, Broken Hearts put together an awesome performance to crush Rosslyn Park. All four of their players were in double figures, and their score of 58 is by some way the best team score of the season so far. Waterloo Sunset had a comfortable win over Ovalytes to stay in second place, while third placed Hogshead Chestnuts beat London Scottish. In the week's other game Uncosy defeated Accrington Cylindricals. Top scorer in the League, and for the fifth week running top scorer in the Division, was Mick Lancaster (Hogshead Chestnuts), whose 23 points equalled the best individual score of the season to date.
