The third in a series of seven international table tennis programmes in which eight of the world's best players compete for the Norwich Union Trophy and £1,200 in prize money.
The eight players are split into two groups and every match is vital because only two from each group go through to the semi-finals.
In the first match, in Group A, Desmond Douglas must beat Jochen Leiss of West Germany to have any chance of going into the later stages and in Group B Denis Neale has a difficult match against the former European Champion, Milan Orlowski. Once again he has to win because he lost his opening match against Peter Stellwag.
