Wymeswold Cons maintained their winning start to the season with a victory away to Carington Cons in a game played on the Syston Cons alley owing to the unavailability of the Melton British Legion .. Wymeswold had edged 2-1 in front but were looking vulnerable in the final leg with Carington chasing just 26 for a share of the points .. however, the chase was in vain with the home side falling four pins short as Wymeswold emerged with the 3-1 scoreline in their favour.
Top House matched the start of Wymeswold with their own 3-1 victory away at Sileby WMC .. the visitors somehow managed an early lead despite a first leg containing two noughts and pressed home the advantage to go 2-0 up .. the home side then pulled a leg back before the visitors secured the win in the fourth leg to join Wymeswold at the top of the League at this early stage .. Jack Billing, back on familiar territory, top scored with an excellent 25 for the visitors.
It was nip and tuck at Barrow Cons as the opening leg was tied with visitors Carington Arms before the home side hit the highest leg of the night with an excellent 35 including the first 9 of the season in the League from Dick Smith .. unfortunately, they followed up with one of the lowest legs of the evening and the two sides went into the decider all square at which point the home side held their nerve to chase down the target and record their first win of the season .. Brent Dalby top scoring with 23.
Syston Social Club raced into a 2-0 lead away to Queniborough Wanderers but were left hanging on as the home side came close to snatching a share of the spoils with the last throw of the match .. after pulling the game back to 2-1 it came down to last man Ade Hubbard needing an 8 to tie the game up at 2-2 .. unfortunately, his 7 could only tie the final leg with the narrow victory going to the away side .. Alan Whitmee top scored with 22 for the home side on a night when they welcomed back John Merryweather to their playing ranks.
