On a hot sunny afternoon, Vets 2 played hosts to Vets 1 in a rearranged fixture. Vets 1, pushing for promotion back to League 1, faced Vets 2, endeavouring to increase the gap between them and the bottom club in League 2.

With one rink to play things were moving in favour of Vets 1, 13-2 had become 16-18, 8-8 saw Vets 1 a shot ahead 13-14 and 3-11 was finely poised at 18-18.
