The round got off to a slightly slower start, as a shocked TD Amy Byrne announced we were running 15 minutes late. Part of that was my fault - I had to reprint Division B pairings, as I had forgotten to leave Dominic Borg out and only noted because he was slated to play a top contender. The rest was the hotel's: they had neglected to refresh the tea and coffee service in time for the break. It's a good thing we're ordering lunch in; that should save at least ten minutes on the lunch break.

Nigel Richards (MYS) beats Vincent Boyle (Sco) 571-313 and is now 9-2 +1947. Helen Gipson (Sco) beats Jojo Delia (MLT) 442-354 and is +589. Jojo is alone at 8-3, and the four players at 7-4 are David Webb (Eng), Terry Kirk (Eng), Vincent Boyle (Sco) and Joanne Craig (AUS).
