Semi Final Draw (Tuesday 7th December)
Spartans v Scorpions
Castle v Rockers
Rockers 8-2 Bees
Rockers hosted the Bees in this Quarter Final tie at Jacqs Bar knowing they couldn't let up from their fantastic league form, or the newcomers may punish them. But any thought off an upset dissapeared in the first half of the match as Rockers romped to a 6-1 lead with wins from, C.Carson, A.Arbuthnot, R.Butler, J.Johnston and P.Harris. A.McMeekin with an impressive 8 ball clearance replied for the Monkstown team. Just for a moment the mood changed as Bees player D.Montgomery pulled another frame back for the visitors but Rockers steadied and finished the tie off with wins from Dn.Whiteside and S.Carson to set up a mouth watering clash with old rivals Castle.
Spartans 8-1 Greenisland
Greenisland made the trip down the coast to a windy Whitehead hoping to secure a spot in the Knockout Shield Semi Final. But it was Tommy Maguire's Spartans who turned on the style to romp home and now look forward to entertaining The Scorpions for a place in the Final. Point scorers for the hosts were Hawkins 3, Lowe 2, Burns, English and McDowell (Break & Dish). W.Morrison replied for the GI's.
