Gary Lawrence won 3-0

Chris Phelps won 3-1

Ellis Lawrence lost 3-0

Karl Whiteman won 3-0

 

Abergavenny 'C' recorded their third win of the season, winning by five matches to nil, and now top the table in Gwent Division Two. Tim Woodier had a tough match, but came through against a difficult and wily opponent, while the rest of the matches were relatively easy, two being walkovers! Matthew Thomas's reputation as the hard man of the team appears to be working too well, as, for the second time this season, his opponent didn't turn up!

   

Tim Woodier (1) won 3-2

Jiwan Gahunia (2) won 3-0

Mitchell Lawrence (3) won 3-1

Simon Cave (4) had a walkover 3-0

Matthew Thomas (5) had a walkover 3-0.
