Round 5, and still no winner in either competition! A win for David or Jacques would have given them it in the end, but they couldn't be separated. A win for Sven would have left him able to catch Jacques, but again, unable to make headway against Ed's KIA. Jacques needs a win v Sven to take it.
The top pairing in the Intermediate wasn't played due to Ana's illness, so we wait for that. But two impressive wins by the Kemps, an escape for Andrew, and draws for the rest. And even a graded friendly. No end of competitiveness in DCC.
