Two days later, the Seniors recorded an even better result when they completed a whitewash in their home match with Westbury. Underwood and Rowell finished 2 up in the opening encounter and there were convincing wins for Cheney and Reeves and Edgell and Williams with both pairings winning 5 and 4. Bendle and Button completed a 3 and 2 success, Blacker and Nowell ended 2 up and Tucker and Geoff Hallett completed the 6–0 victory with a 3 and 1 win in the final match.
