Cups’ semi-final line-ups confirmed
The Green Dragon C came from 3-2 down to win 4-3 in what must be the upset of the round as, despite being at opposite ends of the league, it seems the cup still has its unpredictability.
Dave Knight and Paul Banfield won for the Dragon C, while Gareth Richards, Cameron Williams and Dan Hoseine won for the Compass before the Dragon C won both doubles.
The Green Dragon A came from two down to win 4-3 against the Punchbowl. Neil Astley and Adam Jones took the first two singles before Dave Boyle, Mitch and Rhys Butler won for the Dragon A. The Dragon A then ensured a win with the first doubles.
The Kings Head A overcame a close game with the Westwood B 4-3, with Chris Proctor and Carl Dockerty winning for the visitors while Kacey Jones, Dave Rix and Oscar Hyland won for the Kings Head A. The match was won on the first doubles.
The last team to book their place in the semi-finals was the Westwood A after a 5-2 win over the high-flying Pheasant. Duncan Cork, Steve Lloyd, Gareth Ashley and Alan James ensured the win, while Rob Finney won for the Pheasant. The doubles were shared.
