In the top-of-the-table clash, already crowned division one champions Kingfisher A scored an 9-1 away victory over second place Our Lady of Peace A.

Mo Cook claimed a well-earned victory for the hosts over Kingfisher’s Ross Saxby 8-11 11-7 4-11 15-13 13-11.

The points were shared 5-5 as struggling Kingfisher C, thanks to an excellent maximum from young Prayrit Ahluwalia, managed to hold Kingfisher D who are just holding on to third place.

Another exciting 5-5 resulted when the two Sonning Common & Peppard teams came together. Ed Lush helped the B team in dropping just a single end on the night while Matt Isherwood impressively edged Jamie Barlow 11-8 11-7 8-11 9-11 11-9 as he and Ed teamed up to take the doubles.

Sonning Sports A assured their place in Division 1 next season with a 7-3 victory over bottom side Reading FC with another unbeaten performance by Dave Croucher, while Tidmarsh A took an important step towards survival with a narrow 6-4 win over Kingfisher B.

With no individual unbeaten on the night and several encounters requiring fifth-end deciders including an impressive final flourish from Lee Calcutt who overcame Alan Cummings 11-8 9-11 14-12 9-11 11-0.

Division two leaders Sonning Common & Peppard D were only able to field two players at Our Lady of Peace B but were still able to draw the match 5-5 which keeps their title bid on track.

Their star player Danny Dockree was in great form recording a three straight maximum.

Tidmarsh B stayed in second place following a 6-4 win over relegation threatened Tilehurst Methodistss A.

Eric Van Looy got his customary maximum for the Tilehurst team with Dale Ballard and Mike Alstrop winning twice for Tidmarsh.

Sonning Common & Peppard C stayed in the promotion hunt with a 6-4 victory over Kingfisher G with Malcolm Gregory getting a maximum including wins in five against Savva Christodoulou and Satej Jaywant.

Savva won a close contest with Sonning’s Nigel Maltby 11-7 11-2 8-11 7-11 11-9.

Kingfisher F and Tilehurst RBL B fought out a 5-5 draw, a result which keeps the Kingfisher team’s hopes of avoiding relegation alive.

Kate Maksimenko got yet another maximum for Tilehurst but she was forced to dig deep to recover from two games down to beat the improving Ajai Kamath in five.
