The quarter finals were played on Tuesday 18th February 2014.
Names were drawn out of the hat on the night and some interesting contests emerged.
First up was Michael Jones (-1) v Ian McAllister (-16). Quite a straight forward affair as it turned out with Michael in good form. He won the match comfortably 21-6, 21-5.
Robin Ritchie (-2) was drawn against David McRae (+11). David is a much improved player this season and it looked a big ask for Robin to overhaul the deficit in short time however he hung on in the third to win 21-18, 16-21, 21-17. There is no doubt, David had chances, but it wasn't to be.
Jamie Morton (-12) had a similar task playing Dan Cussack (0) This also went to the wire in the third. Dan took the first game 21-19 but worked hard, Jamie came back in the second 21-14. Dan
got a second wind as he has done all season in his team games and despite a 'time out' with a foot injury Dan held out and took the match 21-17.
Last but not least, Keith Grey (+6) and Rob Owen (+7) fought out a close match with Rob winning 21-19 and 21-20. These lads have played each other many times and know each others strengths and weaknesses. They don't come much closer, Keith's league game just before this match might have been his undoing, who's to say. The semi finals and final will be on Tuesday 11th March 2014 with a 6.40pm start, not 6pm which proved a little early for some getting away from work. Please come along and support the event.
