The 6–4 at Volante requires its concessions to be stated clearly. Elsewhere, Division Three offered a 7–3 away win and a draw shaped by three deciding-game home victories.
Player of the Week
Steven Tovey
Great Brickhill Foxes
Tovey won all three singles as Foxes drew 5–5 with Wolves. Alan Bradbury was beaten in straight games; David McGarragh and Garry Barnes each took a game but no more. Those three verified wins supplied most of Foxes' five points: a consistently productive return in a fixture where neither side could establish a winning margin.
