Dubliner Keith Sheldrick won his third game in a row to stay unbeaten when he beat Rafath Habib from India 3 frames to 1 in a good display.
Tom O Driscoll gave a master class of match snooker to beat Nadeem Ahmed from India 3 frames to nil after the Waterford man controlled the whole match.
Josh Boileau was beaten 4 frames to 2 against Adrian Ridley to force the Newbridge man to his second defeat in the Championship despite Josh winning the first and third frames in leading 2-1.
Robert Murphy played Amir Sarkhosh from Iran and the Iranian player made the highest break of the Championship with a 127 in beating the Dubliner 4 frames to 2. It was another quiet day for Jason Devaney when he had no match.
