Team handicap competition sponsored by Northern Powergrid

The Shepherds Trophy was won by 3^rd division Holgate WMC D (Colin Dickson, Pete Taylor, Steve Wands) who beat Bootham A from the 1^st division (Jimmy Mills, Jo Suchecki, Jon Wooldridge) by 5.5 - 2.5. Holgate won the first two matches before Bootham pulled one back, only for Holgate to take the next two to lead 4-1. Bootham came back to 4.5 -2.5 before Colin Dickson beat Jimmy Mills to give his team the trophy. Pete Taylor (2.5) was top-scorer for Holgate with Steve Wands winning both of his games. Jo Suchecki won 1.5 for Bootham.

The Machell Trophy, for teams knocked out in the first round, was won by Coneysthorpe C from division 1 (James Rule, Keith Wilkinson, Paul Young). They beat division 3 team BT B (Terry Botting, Bill Carter, Nigel White) by 5-4. The lead changed five times in a very close contest that went to the final game. James Rule starred for Coneysthorpe, winning all three of his games, while Terry Botting and Bill Carter won two each for BT.
