Alan Ford and Mike Kateb secured a crucial 3-2 victory over league leaders Nigel Wilson and Richard Birkett in a tightly contested match. Despite trailing in their head-to-head history, Ford and Kateb's win earns them 4 points and keeps them firmly in second place with two matches left. Wilson and Birkett remain top of the table but must be wary, as their narrow 3-point gain and one match remaining mean the title race remains wide open.
