Tom Drury v Trent Lewis: In the first round Lewis was a 10-point winner. This time Lewis surged ahead to win 69 – 49. Robert Farnsworth v Wayne Lewis: These two have been good friends for years and that goes out the window when it comes to snooker. Farnsworth 55 – 42.

Dallas Thurlow v Troy Clarke: Thurlow got beat by 31 points by Clarke.

Williams & Sons Pockets v C & W Printing Red Sox: Shane Eagle v Jeff Stait: Eagle is having a mixed comp and Stait has won his last 5 games and is playing well. In the end Stait came close but Eagle prevailed 47 - 42. Todd Bates v Trevor Cameron: Bates become stage fright while Cameron took his time pulled back the lead with some good potting and left Bates in his wake 62 – 49. Michael Wellings v Peter Warner: Both these players have won 5 games each and someone was going to increase their stats by one. Wellings was very slow to start and Warner was at the top of his game winning 82 – 47 win. Jack Bilby v Rod Denley: The new verses the old as Bilby is in his second comp and Denley is a seasoned campaigner from way back. Denley was far too wily for the youngster as he easily won 70 – 34. Steve Hewitt v Garry Nolan: Hewitt has been out for 10 months and has come back with his only game so far he was an easy winner and won this contest also 66 – 45.

Hunter Mining Methods Miscues v Carpet One Tall Timbers: Garry Bender v Maurie Smith: Bender is in good form and Smith is having a terrible season with just the single victory. Bender got out to a good lead early then suddenly Smith could see clearly as he mowed Bender down to get his second win 63 – 36.

This was a slow but entertaining game and the crowd watching was quickly asleep but there was eventually a winner as Slaven fell over the line 41 – 40. Dennis Goodwin v Bill Cook: Goodwin is having a shocker as he was still looking for his first win to keep away from a nudie run. Cook has won more than he has lost and Goodwin pushed him until the last ball was potted. It was close and Cook was the victor 49 – 48 and Goodwin is still looking for that elusive win. Allan Piggott v Michael McCosker: Piggott with 2 wins was playing McCosker with 4 wins and this was a good turnaround for Piggott.

Matt Tattersall v Frank Wawn: Last time these two played each other Tattersall was a 2 point winner and this time Wawn all ready for revenge. It was not to be as Tattersall took complete control and easily strolled home 70 – 37. Ritchie Bilby v Leon Rust: Bilby was just a passenger in this game as Rust was all over him like a wet blanket.
