M.B.A. Cup - Quarter Finals
In a very close match at Crosskeys, the home side held out for a two shot victory over Cwmbran. A similar story at Bedwas where they also held out for a four shot victory over Chepstow. St. Julians made home advantage pay too by beating Abertillery by fifteen while Beaufort won by thirty shots at Brynmawr.
W.B.A. Carruthers Shield - 2nd Round
Eight Monmouthshire teams competed in the second round of the Carruthers and we were bound to lose at least one with a local derby between Brynmawr and Beaufort, Beaufort repeated their success on the same green from the night before to move into round three. They will be joined by R.T.B. Ebbw Vale who won at Lougher, Cwmbran who won at Bridgend and St. Julians who beat Bryn Welfare. Sadly it was the end of the competition for Six Bells, beaten at Harlequins, Whiteheads who lost at Whitchurch and Bedwellty who lost at BSC Landore. Good luck to the remaining four in round three when Beaufort travel to BSC Landore, Cwmbran host R.T.B. Ebbw Vale in another all MBA match and St Julians travel to Whitchurch.
M.B.A. Division 1
A tight match at Machen with the home side winning on three rinks but visitors Blackwood edged the spoils 8-6.

M.B.A. Division 4
With leaders Whiteheads playing in the Welsh there was an opportunity for the chasing pack to catch them and they did just that with Abercarn going top after winning 11-3 at Firbank, Pontymister Welfare going second after a 13-1 win against Belle Vue and Panteg House going third with a 12-2 win against Ebbw Vale.
