Ide led from the front, skipping John Fairs, John Bailey and Keith Brinsmead to a 16 - 12 win over the impressive Dave Alner.
Top rink went to Adie Jackson, Toy Barclay, Ian Robertson and Stuart Logan who were always ahead against Harry Harrison and ran out 23 -13 winners. Making his first appearance this season, Dave Levy was well supported by Derek Meechan, Jim Davis and Nick Eager and eventually took the match away from Anthony Bull 21-13. Regular skip Stuart Shwartz and his three John Schools had Emilio di Pietro and Mark Harwood supporting them and a close match against Mark Soper finished 18 - 15.
In the Sussex County Triples Shwartz with Schools and Brinsmead reached the quarter finals at Popes Mead, Crawley with a convincing 24 - 10 win away to Jack Carline of Maltravers followed by a home victory over Worthing Pavilion's Richard Maton, the match decided by the narrowest margin on the final end. Shwartz was fortunate to promote a Priory bowl to shot, when 3 down and Maton was a whisker away from trailing the jack for a Pavilion win.
