Fawn A picked up their best result to date when they secured all 11 points against Waterloo Inn while Maritime Misfits also won in double figures and claimed all but one of the 11 points on offer away at Torpoint Cons.

Dave Collins (100x16) top scored for Plympton Cons as they triumphed 7-4 away at Compton Social Club, the same winning scoreline that was also achieved by Porters Pretenders when hosting Octagon Social Club.
