The Semi Finals were hard fought matches Brendan Thomas taking on Frank Sarsfield this match could have went either way Frank was 2 nil up and looking like winning 3/0 but Brendan Thomas had some luck on the Blue and Pink to make it 2/1 Brendan again showing his fighting ability took the 4th Frank secured the last with some ease. The display of safety and potting was excellent from both Frank & Brendan
In the Second Semi final Mark Tuite played Paudie Kelly once again the snooker on display was superb the quality of the potting and safety was superb. A super clarence from Paudie Brown to Black brough the match to a decider. This was nip and tuck and it looked like Paudie was going to prevail, but the Pink sat on the Jaw and allowed Mark an easy pot to take the frame and Match.
The Final will be between Frank Sarsfield & Mark Tuite one not to be missed.
