New pairing of the oldest and youngest members of the team, George Davis and George Barrow, gelled well, winning 4&3. Pascal Norman and Andy Williams were not at their best and lost 4&2.

The Stragglers played their return match away against Sherborne. The Somerset Army lost to The Dorset Army 3&2, and they were presented with the trophy.

Jones and Hembury lost 4–3, Kenworthy and Leigh won 6–4, Pearce and Baker won 4–3, Williams and Gowen lost 2–1, Searle and Timson lost 5–4. Five players had not played at Sherborne before, so it was a tough fixture.
