Third team to win 7-1 were Mechanics Snatchers against St Thomas’ Tower, Tower avoided the whitewash thanks to Connor Davies winning the second frame against Ross Symes with a fine break of 94, narrowly missing out on a possible century break.

Ben Garnier (42) lost to Phil Romeril (0)   Phil was giving away 42 start in each frame and was in top form for the two frame win, not only his third win of the season but inflicting Ben’s third loss in a row and at the same time getting his first back to back win since October 2018

St Aubin Warriors 7-1 Mechanics B
Robert Le Moel (35) won against Bob Rondel (42)   Robert was a comfortable winner in the first and looked set to do the same in the second when towards the end of the frame gave away a few fouls to give Bob an opportunity but managed to cross the winning line with a good pink and black.
Chris Blampied (7) drew with Bob Proper (42)   Bob did well to win the first on the black, Chris made a 23 and was leading by 15 points with just the last 4 colours remaining, needing just one ball for Bob to need snookers, but failed to take his opportunities, Chris redeemed himself in the second and ended being a comfortable winner.
Byron Le Cornu (35) won against Sam Duncan (42)   Byron was a comfortable winner in both
Aaron Canavan (-63) won against Richard Corbett (42)   Aaron was giving 84 start in each frame which is always a difficult task, as you have to be at your best and avoid giving the opponent too many chances. Fortunately for Aaron, Richard did not have many opportunities and won the first with mini breaks of 32, 30 and a 31 clearance to win on the black.
Richard scoring just 8 points.
Second followed a similar pattern with Aaron making mini breaks of 24, 32 and a 33 clearance, this time Richard scoring just 2 points.
A good win for St Aubin having lost their two previous matches 5-3.

Tower Pocket Rockets 7-1 Mechanics A
Peter Robinson (7) won against Paul Bradbury (42)  
Strong match play by Peter in the first, playing his second reserve match for the home team , as he scored well when he could, consistent double figure breaks and scored a lot from tidy snookers and applied pressure with good safety play. Second frame was a black ball game after Peter came from a long way behind to win 2-0
Daniel Cavey (0) won against Ernie Bird (42)  
Daniel having breaks of 25 & 37 in the first frame, he won it without being troubled as Ernie only scored 10 points over and above his 42 point start.
Second black ball game of the night, Daniel cleared the colours from brown to black to come from behind and win 2-0
Ryan Yates (14) drew with Lloyd Letherbarrow (42)  
Ryan made a 28 in the first to cancel out the handicap but Lloyd then couldn’t miss and although the scores were tight, Lloyd always seemed in control of the frame. In the second Ryan potted well and scored colours consistently and won a third black ball game of the night to share the frames 1–1.
Nathan Piziura (7) won against Phil Papworth (28)  
Nathan was never really troubled and ran out a comfortable winner, consistently scoring double figures and taking colours with reds to take the first. In the second Nathan had breaks of 32 & 28 at back to back visits and Phil who was under pressure at that point potted well but was having to try and force things which never really worked out and left Nathan plenty of scoring opportunities for a comfortable 2-0 win.
