The Short Team entertained Fylde and managed a 9-7 victory. The result looked in doubt at lunch time when they were 6-2 down; even 3 wins in the first afternoon round of games still meant 4 wins were required in the last session to pull off a surprise result. David had 4 wins, Jean & Sue had 2 wins each, while Chris came in with the all-important single win.
