The weekly honor list notes no standout performances due to damp wickets and season fatigue. Top scores include J Hackett 24 for YALC against Norths No. 1, and E Joes 16 for Lampers v Fre ante. Bowling leaders: P Trotter 6 for 11 for Easts v South, Munro 6 for 27 for Norths No.1 v MCA, Shanahan 4 for for Basta South, Jaan 4 for 27 for YALA v Norths, Hales 4 for 36 for Fremantle v Lumpers, Brown 4 for 7 for Fremantle Lumpers. Team standings edge toward a Easts versus Lampers premiership duel, with Lampers needing two outright wins to force prolonged rounds. Easts would require Norths results and eventual playoffs, extending the season by several Saturdays.
