Queniborough Wanderers were made to pay for a below par opening Leg of just 19 pins in their Quarter Final clash with Syston Cons B .. the visitors held onto their advantage through the evening although the home side had managed to close the gap to just 2 pins before the final Leg .. Queniborough's target of 33 ultimately proved beyond them as the visitors prevailed by a 9 pin margin .. Dave Clark top scored for Syston with 22.
Wymeswold progressed to the semi-finals despite another below par performance at home versus Carington Cons .. at the halfway stage Wymeswold found themselves in a comfortable 14 pin lead and, despite Carington narrowly winning the last two Legs, the damage was done and Wymeswold eased to the win by 12 pins .. Pete Shaw top scored with 24 as the home side failed to register a 30 Leg for the second home match in a row.
Top House were on top from the start in their Quarter Final tie at Syston Social .. Syston's second Leg of just 15 pins proved their undoing and by the 3rd Leg the visitors had a virtually unassailable lead of 21 pins .. another solid 4th Leg from Top House meant that the home side's target of 43 pins was always going to prove too much for them .. Mick West top scored for the visitors with 23.
Carington Arms were comfortably outscored in the early stages of their tie with Barrow Cons and the visitors found themselves 16 pins ahead going into the final Leg of the night .. Carington managed to close the deficit to just 7 pins with a competitive 4th Leg but were unable to prevent Barrow's passage through to the semi-finals.
