Board three seen a comeback win for Micky McConville as he lost the first two legs only to take the next three to progress into the next round.

Adrian Hutchinson needed a last leg deciding leg win also to get the better of Pat Curran and it was Shane Tallon who came out on top 3-0 when he faced team mate Michael Lamb.
