Billericay "B"   4  -  5   BAE Selex "C"

The home Billericay "B" side of Peter Barrett (-17), John Gagg (-11) and Dave Carter (-6) put up a tremendous fight against their leniently handicapped opponents BAE Selex "C" for whom Colin Clements (-5), Paul Brown (-8) and Chris Aukett (-6) played - first singles to Barrett over Brown but probably the game that finally won the tie for the visitors Carter versus Clements with the visitor winning 22/20, 22/20.  Followed by a win for Aukett over Gagg in three 19/21, 21/19, 21/11.    Two in quick succession for Billericay with Carter over Brown  in three and Barrett over Aukett in two for a home side lead at 3 - 2 but back came BAE Selex with a win for Clements over Gagg and Aukett over Carter in three - Gagg then defeated Brown in three to level the match and it was down to the last tie Barrett (-17) versus Clements (-5) which the visitor took to give BAE Selex "C" victory by 5 - 4.

*****************************************************************************************************************

Billericay Sports "D"   4  -  5   Brentwood Hard

With a 4 - 2 lead for Billericay Sports "D" the cards looked stacked against a Brentwood Hard victory but to their credit the team of Greg Cooper (Scr), John Barns (+2) and Len Nicholas (+9) never gave in and rattled their opponents by taking the last three singles to collect an unlikely victory. Cooper won twice against Brian Cole (-6) and Philip Terry (+1) with Barns also winning two over Brian Wellman (+1 ) and Terry - the win for Nicholas over Terry was the key to the match and the tennis club team go into the next round final score 5 - 4 to Brentwood Hard.

**********************************************************************************************************************

Brentwood "B" 2 - 5  Hutton "C"

Hutton "C" collected an impressive win over their opponents but needed victory in the third end in three of the games - Wally Sale (+3) lost his first end against Bob Garson (-9) but took the next two - Sale did likewise to Stan Kenner (-3) while Richard Hayhoe (-3) needed three ends to defeat Colin Griffiths (-4) - Sale and Hayhoe winning two each with the fifth victory coming for Ron Millbourne (+11) over Kenner (-3) for a well deserved victory.

******************************************************************************************************************

Hutton "B" 2 - 5 Buttsbury "B"

A good win for Buttsbury "B" with Graham Sturton (-2) winning his three ties and being well supported by brother Paul Sturton (-2) who won twice - Caroline Cole (-3) being on the losing end twice against both Roy Barnes (-1) and Mike Pratley (-1) - the third Hutton player being Ron Grief (+5) who lost his two ties played both in the third end - against Graham Sturton an unfortunate 18/21, 21/16, 20/22.

******************************************************************************************************************

Mountnessing "B" 2 - 5 Mountnessing "C"

Mick Morris (-6), Chris Crooks (-4) and Jon Dyson (-3) found the handicaps a shade to severe against John Newman (+3), Len Jupe (+5) and Suzanne Shaw (+10) - some very close ties with three being decided in the third end all in favour of the "C" team - Crooks defeating both Shaw and Newman to keep the "B" teams hopes alive but a win in the seventh game for WShaw over Dyson put the second division team through against their first division rivals.
