Although Bowdon Canons lost the match 4-2 to the champions of the league, there was no disgrace as the score is based on handicaps, with the net result being a 35pts to 16 win. This was based on the 2 wins by John Wilkinson and Frank Moir, Frank gaining maximum points over Dave Nick - and it was on Dave's birthday, too! However, this was not enough to get them off of bottom spot.
