Darren Palmer led Holton to an 8-2 victory away to Forum C, although Chris Smith hit back for Forum with impressive wins over Andy Misseldine and Mark Scott.

Forum A still lead due to the number of legs won.

Rutherford and Bicester A had to settle for a share of the spoils in a 5-5 draw. The maximum for Bicester’s Jon Bayliss was answered by two wins each for Rutherford’s Erik Wahlgren and Neil Hurford.
