Maurice Williams won the first frame, before Alphonsus McIlwaine took his chance at the black against up-and-coming cueman Davy Douglas, to win by a point.

There were successes for Berti Pill (21), Dean McDonagh and Joe Gribben, who battled back to win a great frame and help his side to a much-needed 4-1 win, which keeps them in contention.
