Back from lunch and ready to play three games before tea.

Division A

Nigel Richards (MYS) wins, Helen Gipson (Sco) loses, so Nigel gets back his one-game lead. Nigel played to a 448-417 win over Terry Kirk (Eng), in a game that was fairly close all the way, including two bingoes for each side: Nigel's opening play of BAILEES and later OBScENE, Terry's ARTIFICE (on which Nigel later hooked an -R) and HOURLIES.

Helen lost 428-472 to David Webb (Eng). Joanne Craig (AUS) beat Harshan Lamabadusuriya (Eng) 429-356 and trades places with him, moving up to third place, three games behind Helen, at 14-8.

Division B

Jayne MacKenzie (Eng) beats Sue Ball (Eng) this round 359-273; and Charles Micallef (MLT) loses again, to Joyce's last victim, Nicky Huitson (Eng), 427-385. With ten rounds remaining, Jayne has a five-game lead.

Six games back at 14-8 there are now three players, as Annemarie Holland (MLT)'s close 380-385 loss to the woman who beat Charles last round, Carmen Toscano (Eng), puts Annemarie in fourth place and Nicky in fifth behind Paul Mifsud (MLT). (Carmen is in sixth, leading three 13-9s.)
