On Sunday, July 19 at Bowral Bowling Club the match of the day was the quarter finals seeing Tom Degreenlaw and David Coltman defeating Mike Holmwood and Robin Staples 20-17.
This was a huge win for Degreenlaw and Coltman as they trailed 12-6 after 11 ends and still trailed 13-9 after 14 ends.
But, on the next four ends they found their touch and picked up eleven shots to hit the front 20-13.
Holmewood and Staples won the last three ends, but came up three shots short.
Other quarter-final results:

Della and Stafford got away to a good start and after eleven ends held a 10-5 lead.
Following good play by both teams, the match became a tight affair with Della and Stafford leading 14-11 with five ends to play.
Clearly from then on Della and Stafford had the better of play and come away with a nine shot win.
