Division One ( all results). Holders - Rascals

W.M. Racketeers B v Flintstones

When they met in round two of the Perkins, Rackies had a convincing win and it was no different in this Cup. With Paul Steer and Warren Main both hitting 53s Rackies won by 91 pins and are in line for the treble.

Worle Club v Nomads

Last season's runners up, Worle Club, did not have much confidence this season so it was lucky they met Nomads. With Andy Russ getting 54 Worle won by 111 pins Unfortunately for them they play Racketeers B in the semi finals.

Unionist A v Fraser Lads

Fraser Lads are struggling in the League but they proved too strong for |Unionist A in spite of their skipper Phil Dean hitting 50. Fraser Lads meet Rascals in the semi final.

Rascals v Homefield Rangers

The holders hoped for a repeat this season and headed the right way with an easy 80 pins win. Phil Porter helped with a 45.

Langford Rovers v White Hart Harriers

This was a repeat of the fixture in round one of the Perkins but this time Langford Rovers came away with a 9 pins win thanks to Troy Romeo hitting 55.

Coach House B v Anchors

After last weeks surprise Perkins Cup win Coach House had great hopes but they were dashed but by only 21 pins. Anchors thank Pete Lippett for their top score of 46. Anchors meet Langford Rovers next.

Worle Century Club v Regent Sports

If positions were anything to go by Regent Sports expected an easy win but strange things happen when you have to hit the front pin. The Club got a 105 pins win, definitely no fluke. Darren Greening's 46 for Worle was only beaten by Chris Richards 47 for Regent Sports and Worle Club meet Churchill Club in the semis..

Churchill Club v Nelly's Heroes
