Saturday 30th August. B&DBA Morning Mixed B Team Away versus Downton Dragons. No points for the B Team, from this match, but they remain safely in 6th position. Hopefully, they will bounce back in their last match, next Saturday,  at Home against Pelhams Sea Hawks. Rinks 2 - 0. Shots 36 - 27. Points 6 - 0.

Saturday 30th August. B&DBA Mixed 1st Team at Home versus Poole Park. Sadly, the 1st Team couldn't maintain the momentum following last week's great win, leaving them in 7th place. With only 3 points difference between 6th and 9th place, an exceptionally good win, away versus league leaders Boscombe Cliff, or favourable results from other matches next Saturday, will determine the 1st Team's fate. Rinks 1 - 2. Shots 46 - 63. Points 2 - 8.

Saturday 30th August. B&DBA Mixed A Team Away versus New Milton B. The A Team lose this rain shortened match but remain in a safe 6th position in the League. Rinks 2 - 1. Shots 37 - 29. Points 8 - 2.
