All competitions were able to get their matches played this week with the exception of the Wednesday night ladies who had their competition called off due to heat and heavy smoke with extreme weather points being added to their table, with the positions remaining the same. In the Thursday ladies S.Buckman had a big win which has carried her to the top pf the table pushing S.Gallagher into 2nd place by 3pts with B.Windon moving up one spot to be in 3rd by 2pts. This week saw the commencement of the Tuesday ladies competition with George and Briggs showing no sign of the break affecting their tennis with both having big wins to lead the table in equal 1st while Clift is not too far behind in 2nd by 1.5pts with Bowling rounding out the top three in 3rd by 2pts.

The Saturday division2 ladies have picked up some more players but it is the top of the table where the changes have taken place with Bower moving into outright 1st place with Westbury moving up one slot to be 2nd by 2pts while Ooms is further back in 3rd place 4pts off the pace. In division2 City4 are still holding a 4pt margin over City2 who after a big win moved from last to 2nd while City3 dropped back into 3rd 6pts behind. In the divsion1 men Rye/Anderson/Percival are the biggest movers of the week and are now sitting in 1st place by a mere ½ a point over Whiting/Dunlop/Rye who in turn are holding onto 2nd place by a handy margin of 12.5pts over Peters/Hancock in 3rd.
