Teenager Gareth Allen (Wings) took on clubmate Lea Dagher and spectators watched in awe as Allen hardly missed a ball and registered a 65 clearance in the first frame. He carried on from where he had left off in the second to claim a comfortable win.
In the other semi, merits leader Alan Platt (St Werburgh's United) took on Wayne Amey (Christleton). Platt got in first in the first frame and won it after making a 45 break. In the second, Amey took the lead and held on to win a tight frame. The decider was tit for tat until Amey made a mistake that Platt capitalised on to take the match and book a meeting with Allen in the final.
