On Monday March 1st only two matches could be regarded as really close although others were said to have been close for a considerable part of the game. Royal Oak Royals led by one against Prince of Wales 'A' after the written section and then they slowly edged further away and were feeling fairly comfortable with four or five left when the PoW rallied. However, it proved to be in vain and Royals ran out winners by 45 - 43. There was also only one point in it after the written section between Maesteg Catholic Club & Laleston Inn 'A'. It was 'nip & tuck' after that but had a surprising finish as during the final four questions, Maesteg never scored another point and lost 51 - 43. This proved doubly serious as it cost them their joint-leaders position in the table because Royal Oak Nomads beat a seriously weakened Tondu Railway Club team by 62 - 31. Mackworth Arms retained third spot by beating Llangeinor AFC 52 - 40, with Llynfi Arms, who beat Oldcastle 'A' 49 - 37, a point behind in fourth. In the Second Division Prince of Wales 'B' had a big win versus Heol-y-Cyw RFC by 56 - 40 and are guaranteed promotion as are Llangewydd Arms who ended Cabo Roche's chances, beating them 49 - 39. In fact, Cabo Roche drop to fourth as Pheasant Poachers won 41 - 38 at Oddfellows Arms. Then come Oldcastle 'B' who won away to Laleston Inn 'B' by 51 - 45 and finally Gamekeepers who beat bottom club Pyle RFC by 50 - 39.
