Recent results saw Sledgehammers still setting the pace in Division 1 while Kings won their top of the table clash in Division 2.

Bulldogs welcomed back Gary Gaines for their home game against Sledgehammers and he responded with 9 points in the first quarter. Bert Scott did even better for the visitors, hitting 15 personal to give the visitors a 13-point lead. A low-scoring second  was fairly even with Sledgehammers still ahead at half time. Bulldogs won the third as Gaines hit 18 but they were still behind going into the fourth and the visitors held on comfortably to leave the home side still looking for that first elusive win.

Eagles kept up the pressure on Sledgehammers with a win against Cougars although Cougars had the better of the opening exchanges, ahead by 3 at the end of the first. The second saw Cougars struggling on offence with only 2 players making it onto the scoresheet. Their defence struggled to cope with the twin threat of Sam Saggers and Jacob Swift who between them hit 18 in the quarter helping Eagles to a 14-point half-time lead. Cougars narrowed the gap to single figures by the start of the fourth but another 24 from Swift and Saggers saw Eagles comfortably home.

The 2 unbeaten sides in Division 2 met at Kesgrave when the Kings entertained the Jammers. It was a close game throughout with neither side being able to establish any sort of lead. Jammers led by 5 after the first, only for Kings to have the better of the second, seeing them 2 up at half time. Jammers had just the better of the third and finished the quarter 1-up. A very tight fourth saw Kings just hang on as they knocked down 5 out of 6 from the foul line while Jammers could only manage 2 from 8 and went down by 2.

The only Division 2 teams without a win met at Farlingaye where Tigers notched their first win at the expense of Lynx. Tigers stormed off into a 15-2 lead with only 4 minutes played. Lynx hit back to tie it up going into the last minute of the quarter only for Tigers to finish with a 9-2 run. The second saw Tigers begin to pull away with Laura Shemming hitting 9 personal in the quarter and half time saw them up by 16. Tigers also had the better of the third although in the fourth, Sheridan Trotter hit 12 in 5 minutes to give Lynx some consolation but not enough to deny Tigers that first win.
