Just to bring readers up to date, late yesterday Mulliner beat Hakes in 2, Bryant beat Fordyce in 2. The other two quarter-finals (Shilling vs Wright and Bulloch vs Skinley) finished yesterday at 1 game each.

Bulloch vs Skinley game 3: Dennis was complaining of a sore back this morning. Early on he made h1 with Green. Paul went quickly to 4-back and then to peg with the other ball, but cross-wired himself from partner at Rover while doing his leave. There was some discussion between the players, and then Dennis conceded, saying has back was too painful to play any more.

Shilling vs Wright game 3: despite a little rain in the night taming the courts this morning, this has been a very interactive game. Currently Chris has a 3 ball break with Black, up to hoop 6, and Blue on 3-back. Michael has Y on 4-back and R on 5 - the most difficult hoop to get to on this court, but not as difficult as previous days.

Chris is still in a break with Black, 4 back and now Penult run with all balls clustered around the peg and pondering his leave..

Chris has run Rover and with time up is now looking for safe positions for R, Y and Blue with a peg out for Black.
Michael shoots at Yellow from the A baulk with Yellow near hoop 2 but misses. Game over 21-13.
