Signtek won three sets to two and appeared safe after winning three of the first four sets until AME rallied. Genevieve Bush and Carl Barry took the last set 9-2 to even the games.
Carey Covers dropped a match when Embroidability won on sets. Frank Mitchell won the first set 8-3 with Rob Weppner, but Embroidability took the last two sets and a narrow win.
FixIT went down by five games after Alex Drosg had a night out. The old forehand drive was working, while, for the opposition, Ben Hartwich warmed up to win two of his three sets.

For the Optometrists, Neil Blizzard moved around the court with his customary panache.
