Broken Hearts march on at the top of Division I with a narrow but decisive victory over arch-rivals Allsorts. Nomads keep up the chase with a comfortable win over Barb, with Old Itonians staying joint second after a tight game against Atletico. However the closest game of the night was at the Hand & Shears, where Aldersgate just held out against a late challenge from Telstars to take the game by a point. Top scorer on the night was Fred Filby of Old Itonians with 20 points.
In Division II Waterloo Sunset also maintained their 100% record in a close game against Gray Monks. As seems to be their habit, Waterloo Sunset had a strong second half, coming back from a 5 point deficit at half time. Belly moved into second place, beating Pineapple in another close game , while Rosslyn Park broke their duck by edging out Accrington Cylindricals. In both of the games the main question set was not available, and the London Scottish friendly set was used. With the agreement of the teams, the Committee has decided that these results will stand. In the week's other game London Scottish recorded their first win by beating in-and-out Ovalytes. The Division's top scorer was Ray Ward of Waterloo Sunset with 18 points.
