With so few fixtures remaining in Division 1 it was mainly a case of seeing out the end of the season for most teams. There were only three matches and two of these involved Morriston B as they worked on reducing their backlog. On Monday Morriston B took on De la Beche A who narrowly avoided the whitewash thanks to an excellent result for Peter Smith. Final score 4½-½ to Morriston. The decider for fourth place took place on the Tuesday when CN Emperors needed to beat White Knights B so as to leapfrog them. However with three draws and a win apiece the points were shared and this was enough to ensure that White Knights B are almost certain to keep their fourth place finish. Morriston B ‘s second match of the week saw them travel to Llanelli to play White Knights C where a draw and two wins apiece gave them a point each.

Next week sees the end of the Division 1 fixtures with Morriston B once again playing two matches. The first against BF Brunel and the second a rearranged match against White Knights A in an encounter that will decide whether the title will go to Morriston A or White Knights A.

Two of the three matches in Division 2 involved the title contenders from Briton Ferry. In the first of these BF Bluebell made short work of Morriston D by winning 4-1 while BF Giants went a bit better by swamping UK Merlins 4½-½. These results mean that Bluebell remain 4 points ahead of Giants and are virtually certain to take the Division 2 title. The other Division 2 match was between De la Beche B against UK Hawks and ended 3½-1½ in favour of De la Beche.
