In Division 1 White Knights A duly smashed their C team 5-0 and are now on level pegging with their main title competitors, Nidum A. With one third of the season over they are equal on both match and game points and it could not get any closer. In the other matches Morriston A had a convincing win over Upper Killay Falcons who were without their top rated player while Port Talbot received a second coat of whitewash from White Knights B to go with the one applied earlier in the season.

Division 2 saw Morriston B defeat Upper Killay Merlins and Woodman A beat their B team. The most significant match, however, was between title contenders Castell Nedd Emperors and Briton Ferry Brunel. Emperors lost their unbeaten record going down 0.5-4.5. To quote Martyn Griffiths, the Emperors captain, "Brunel made a huge statement of intent with this victory. They are much boosted by the presence of David Robinson and are now getting strength in depth, something which Emperors lack". The Emperors still hold top spot by one match point but Brunel have a match in hand. This coming Tuesday (26/11) Brunel meet their next nearest rivals White Knights D, the only team to have defeated them so far this season.

Three matches in Division 3 with Upper Killay Hawks taking part in two of them. They beat Morriston D in the first of them and then went on to defeat their ostensibly stronger team mates the Eagles. In the other match White Knights E put themselves back in the promotion race with a 4-1 defeat of Briton Ferry Ferrymen but at the same time gave Morriston C a little more breathing space. Morriston C still head the Division by 2 points but now have a match in hand.
