Dean Winstanley 6-6 John Walton

The shares were spoiled in the battle of the bottom as Dean Winstanley and John Walton gained a point a piece. While the match wasn't the league's best in terms of quality, it was full of drama with the match having to be stopped in the early stages due to technical issues. The highlight of the game saw Winstanley pick up three legs in a row to come from 4-2 down to 5-4 up. Sensing victory, he put himself 6-5 up two legs later but it was Walton who closed out the game better to take the final leg and share the points.

Jim Williams 7-3 Alan Norris

A late flurry of legs from Alan Norris helped him add some respectability to the score as he lost 7-3 to Jim Williams. Williams won the opening five legs and was cruising towards another two points but Norris managed to take three of the next four legs as the Welshman struggled with his finishing. The end came in the 10th leg though as Williams wrapped up the match to move closer to qualification.
