West Acre's Bruce Welham maintained his No 2 ranking nationally when losing to Buglass 279-174 in the semi-finals, while Michael Crisp of Narborough did very well to reach the semis also, where he lost to Williams 263(49)-184.
Earlier Michael had defeated Finlay Laing (Newmarket) 236-222 in the quarter-finals, this being a very good win as Laing had won the last event of the series in Derby in December.
