Beauty Point travelled to the undefeated Trevallyn, keen to improve their form away from home. The visitors shot out of the blocks, particularly on Mick Savage's rink who established a 21-7 lead after 17 ends over Scott Summers.
Summers' rink fought back late but eventually succumbed with the final rink score being 29-19 to Savage, who was the standout for his rink. Haydon Cannon and his rink collected 2 points for the Thunder with a 7 shot win over Paul Filgate while Bruce Howard took care of Lachie Sims by 8 shots to seal the overall result in a huge win away from home for Beauty Point.
Westbury hosted North Launceston who were looking to get their first win of the season.

Jeffrey Miller skipped his rink to a 6 shot victory over Les Watts while Mark Jones did the damage for North recording a massive 19 shot win over Julian Frost to ensure the visitors walked away with 10 points.
Cosgrove Park hosted Bridport in what eventuated as a nail biter. Byron Slater jumped out early to lead Rhys McDougall 10-1, but a late charge from both McDougall and his number 3, Maxine Monson, managed to turn the tide for the visitors who stole the rink win by a solitary shot 21-20. Chris Walker bounced back into the winner's circle this week with another 1 shot win, this one over Andrew Appleyard.
