James Fryer led them with a solid 4-0 win against John Kealey. James, who has achieved 97% in the averages during the league season in Division 4, has finished top of the pile and will surely look to rise up the ladder for next season.
Next up was Kenson Chan against Woodlands captain Sue West and this brought a 3-1 win.
Richard came up against Paul Hopkins and the match could have gone either way – a 3-1 loss but with the handicap applied a narrow two-point win.
