In Division 1 the match of the week was the second clash of the season between top teams Nidum A and White Knights A which took place in Neath. And which saw the Knights come away the unambiguous victors (1.5-3.5). There is now clear water between the teams with Nidum A currently 4 points behind, although they do have a match in hand. The teams are due to meet again in mid April in what could be a last gasp decider for the title - assuming neither team falters against any of the others.

Morriston A defeated White Knights C for the second time, and by the same score (4-1). Morriston jump into third place while White Knights C are second from bottom above struggling Falcons. Port Talbot added to UK Falcons troubles by winning 1.5-3.5 in spite of turning up a player short.

The top of Division 2 remains close with the three top teams all winning. Emperors had a 4-1 win at home over UK Merlins and continue to head the table, a position they have held since mid September. White Knights D had a 3.5-1.5 win at home to Woodman A, while second place BF Brunel defeated club mates Giants 4.5-0.5 to maintain the pressure on Emperors.

Morriston C continue to dominate Division 3. This week it was a 4.5-0.5 win at home to UK Eagles and they are now 5 points clear of their nearest rivals BF Ferrymen. Morriston D travelled to Llanelli and defeated White Knights E (2-3) to leapfrog them and go into third place. The interclub match between Hawks and Harriers saw a double default on bottom board with victory going to the ostensibly weaker Hawks 2.5-1.5.
