The A team held St Teresa’s D to a draw, with Colin Fyles and Jim Irving winning both their singles and Dave Williams picking up the other point. The doubles was a weakness last season, and remains a weakness.

The B team, with three substitutes, got off to a flying start when Formby HT E turned up with only 3 players. Paul Lunan then raced to a quick win against Paul Oakes, whilst Ron Makin pulled one back for the visitors in a close game against Dai Davies. Alan Nolan and Tom Taylor won their solitary singles games, and Dai Davies completed the home team’s scoring with an easy win against Des Logan. Formby then won the only doubles game against Alan & Tom.
