Nobody dominated this years Cordon Trophy with all teams losing points on a regular basis. After the first round, Milton Keynes A, Bedford A and Kents Luton lead with 3 points with Leighton Buzzard only a half point behind. With MKA, LB and Bedford all scoring 3 points in round 2, MKA and Bedford A opened up a slender lead over LB and KL by a further half point behind. Round 3 saw Bedford score their third consecutive 3, but both LB and MKA bettered this with 3.5, allowing MKA to go into the final round with a half point lead over both Bedford A and Leighton Buzzard. Bedford had matches against both LB and Milton Keynes A and these worked in MKs favour when Steve Ledger beat Steve Law and Richard Freeman beat Paul Habershon. Both Bedford and LB dropped points elsewhere while Milton Keynes managed the only clean sweep of the evening, winning all 4 matches. This left Milton Keynes A with 13.5 points and a flattering winning margin of 2.5 points over both Leighton Buzzard and Bedford A on 11.
Congratulations to Steve Ledger, Richard Freeman, Kevin Williamson and Adrian Elwin who all scored 4 out of 4.
