*****
EBA Double Fours
Cheam Village 'A' team, drawn against Old Coulsdon BC, were able, through a 17-shot win by the rink of Paul Vamvacopoulos, to go through to the next round. Should Cheam Village BC manage to play the same combination, due to the strength of team they could be considered to be among the favourites.

Southey BC v West
Wimbledon BC
This could be termed as a local derby between two clubs just a mile or so apart, and when it comes to a league and cup match combined the rivalry is there for all to see. The NSL league game was won by West Wimbledon by one shot, but that one shot gave west Wimbledon four points.
It was a different story when the game is finally declared, 24 shots difference in favour of Southey, and winning on all four rinks! This can only be described as what bowls is all about.

Hawkers BC v Mid-Surrey BC (Mixed)
Hawkers Athletic BC were at one time a leading and strong Surrey sports club. Regrettably, since the closure of the works, it has lost its place in the bowling scene. However, because of past association Mid-Surrey have still kept in touch, playing a mixed four rink match, resulting in a win for the visitors 60 87
