The start to the new season brought an almost unique occasion when Crook Coach and Horses A travelled to Willington Brewer's Droop and won all ten of the dominoes games. The home side improved at darts but could not prevent the visitors from winning by three points, with Kevin Storey leading the scoring with 140.

The situation in the other match at Crook Golden Fleece was much closer but again it was the visitors who came out on top. Crook Roayl Sun beat the Fleece by the odd point in the darts and by two at dominoes.

Results: Willington Brewer's Droop 4 (0) Crook Coach and Horses A 7 (10); Crook Golden Fleece 5 (4) Crook Royal Sun 6 (6).
