Albufeira held off Pedras winning four points whilst Pedras won six; Floresta won seven points from Alvor who won three points; Tavira won six points from Valverde winning four.
Floresta remain at the top of the League Table with 29 points, with Pedras chasing closely in second place on 26 points, whilst Albufeira in third place with 20 points. Only one more match to be played so an exciting finale is promised.
