It was very much plain sailing for the league leaders Louth Travel Centre who increased their lead to five points after beating Tipfix Cue Services 8-4, Joe Rennie laid down the law to get the home outfit of to a flyer, A few drawn games were to follow meaning the visitors were still the tie but they were put to the sword by Gary Skipworth who rifled in breaks of 77 & 66 as Suzy Shaw earned another frame for the team.
Dales Poultry & Game had to find some of last seasons championship winning form to squeeze past 8 Ballers by 7-5 to stay in a now joint second spot, For long periods this encounter looked to be heading for a share of the spoils but it was the hosts who found a two frame winner in Phil Marshall to edge out their opponents and to keep in touch with the leaders.
