We will start in division one with Martin McNeill hitting 3 180s in a match, his side won 8-1 against the Hairy Crown.
The Hairy Bull beat the Diamond in a fantastic match which was one on the final leg of the night. The match included 2 180s for Darren Hyder, one a piece for Paul Martin, Jim Penman, Wayne Venes and George Clark. there was also 113 checkout for Darren, a 100 for Carl Booker and then a 110 for Allan Bryant. What a match which also ended the Diamonds winning start to the season.
The Bull A won 6-3 against the Three Cups, Joe West hit a 180 and a 100 checkout on his debut for the Cups.
Luca Scott hit a 180 for the Whitfield Cups in their 5-4 win against the Admiral Cups. In the final game from division one the Old Endeavour won 6-3 against the DWMC.

Jamie Yelverton hit a 104 checkout in their 6-3 win against the DSAA Hope. The phoenix C won 9-0 against the DSAA Misfits and the Red Lion remain unbeaten like the Eagle A, they beat the Sportsman 6-3.
The Red Lion and the eagle A are the only two sides unbeaten this season, they play each other tonight, which is also the halfway point of the season.
