The White Lion trialled the Wheatsheaf early on but a good run of frames saw them home 7 - 3. The Fox Inn will make their first Divisional Cup final after they beat Oakey Cokey 7 – 5 in the Mark Storer Memorial Trophy. They will take on the winners of Gurkha Rejects and Chapel End Libs ‘B’.

The Libs fired back with Leo Franklin and Evans cutting the deficient to just one frame. Richards returned to put the Oak 2 clear before Vivek Makh broke dished to put them on the hill. The Chapel Enders dug deep and closed the gap to one frame again with Sam Baginskis and Baz Newnes in the winners enclosure.
