Congratulations to the Park Timers on beating the British Flag, who are currently eleven places above them in the League!

There was one other result this week that might be classed as an upset, with the Royal Oak easing past the Weaver. (This would have been an all–A–League tie last season.)

The closest result in this round was produced by its only genuine all–A–League tie, as the Dolphin Dragons beat the Wharfies by a single point.

Question Setters and Question Masters

The questions will be set by the Harrington Academicals and the Park Taverners, who are asked to provide three question masters each. The Weaver and the Waters Green Lemmings are asked to provide one question master each. This should mean that there are eight question masters – four each for the Cup and Plate.
