Con Zss got their season underway with a pleasing 4–1 win over current joint leaders Con C.

It was Con C who took the first frame courtesy of skipper Jago but decent showings from Flack, Stewart, Dolan and a flashy display from Whitley turned the tables completely.

Eye candy of the night came from Matt Whitley with a well-worked 33 break on his first game for the Z team.

West Devon A also got off to a flyer with a solid 4–1 win over their B Team, all be it that most of the games were tight affairs.

Conversely, it was the B team who drew first blood with the wily Bath edging out Taylor in the opener.

The following frames all closely went the way of the A team with Heathman, new boys Cook and Hart, followed by Rawlinson, doing the business for their team.
