Last season’s runners up Coton Bandits ended the great run of the Midland Railway in this seasons Phil Sayer Memorial Trophy. The Midland were the surprise package of this years comp and finally fell at the semi final stage after beating a host of Premier League sides in the earlier rounds. Ant Tedds got the Bandits off to the perfect start break dishing the opening frame and before the Mid knew it they found themselves 5 – 0 down. They managed to stop the Bandit machine for a short while through Matt Guy and Scott Preedy but the Bandits took 2 out of the next 3 frames with Tedds returning to pot the winning frame to seal a 7 -3 victory. They will have to wait and see who they face when Chapel End Libs entertain champions Mighty Oak later this month. The Doug Postin Memorial Shield produced 2 epic semi finals with the  Coniston Tavern ‘A’ getting the better of the Flagnificent 7 in a blackball shoot out after trailing for most of the evening, Lewis Geddes and Ash Bonner potting the last 2 frames for the Conny to take the tie into a shootout. Meanwhile at the Atack Snooker the Premier League leaders didn’t go in front in their match with the Fox until the 11^th frame. The Attleborough potters can count themselves unlucky as on another night they would have probably won, but wins form Rob Dutton & Alun Jones saw the Atack home. The Dave Burnett Memorial Trophy will see Oakey Cokey take on Hare & Hellhounds after they beat the Wheatsheaf and Coniston Tavern ‘B’ respectively.

On the league front Division One front runners Royal Oak Roundhouse beat Atherstone Cons 'B' 8 - 4 to open up 16 point lead over their rivals while the Poke n Hope Cons moved into 4th place in Division Two after a hard fought 7 - 5 victory over the Price of Wales.
