Park Gate overcame last years runners up Churchills 909-871 despite an eyecatching performance from Steve Hughes, Steve won by a massive 75 points helped by a 50 and 36 unfinished breaks. It was the trio of Chris Christodoulou, Chris Pullen and a returning Paul Tavender that done the damage for Park Gate with Jerry Warren (33) the other winner for Churchills.
An outstanding effort from Totton Rec saw them drop just 12 points as they ran out 988-927 winners, Paul Knights got his 2nd win from 2 outings this year but it was not enough with Totton registering 4 wins with Drew Farminer seemingly unfazed by his new handicap winning by 43, 3 solid performances from Tony Aldridge, Mike Trigg and Jason Stedman stopped any chance of Hamble overcoming the deficit.

Jerry Warren hits a Majestic 84 break!
Jerry Warren was the star of the first round hitting an 84 to claw back a huge chunk of the massive handicap, this duo of Jerry and Paul Adams will be a tough opponent as they travel to Totton Rec next to play current holders Tony Aldridge and Jason Stedman, this must be regarded as the tie of the round but who will make Finals Night!!
