No Pairs play last week - all singles.

In Division 1 Group 1 the stand out performer was Lori Wills with two wins against Brent Bayley and Peter Stuart-Sheppard. That takes Lori to the top of the standings, equal with Peter on 9 points but with a better difference in points for and against. Bill Arthur beat Al Bell but then lost to Brent Bayley so Al remains in third place and Bill fourth.

In Division 2 Group 2 Henry Kowalski had two big wins against Andrew Perry and Jenn Wetherall to be top of the standings. The other notable game was between Marjorie Smith and Bob Coleman with Marjorie winning a close game by 13-12.
