League leaders, Newhouse Club had to pull off a great recovery before they managed to beat the visiting Sunniside Comedian by the odd point.
The trebles were shared but then the Comic went ahead with singles points from Bill Railton, Ray Johnson, Peter Moore and Colin Edwards, whilst only Steve Turner and Keith Liddle won for the home side. The Club then needed to take all three doubles to snatch victory and they just managed it.
The leading individual scorers were Steve Turner with 180 for Newhouse and Les Hopps 140 for Billy Row Club.
