THE shock of the cup quarter finals in the Tavistock Social Club snooker night was Royal British Legion's 3-0 win over Con A to take them through. Good wins for Stewart, Wickett and Williams ensured there was no way back for Con A. This win was just reward for a RBL team that has been improving steadily all season.

A dour struggle between Conservative B and Cons D went down to the last ball of the last frame to settle. Wins for Williams and Dolan gave B a dream start only to be pegged back by Day and Andrew to make it two a piece.

The final frame was 'nip and tuck' all the way with Heartfield keeping his nerve to pot the black to his obvious delight and with it the spoils for Con D.

West Devon A went one down with Con C's Bassett taking control of his game despite a 32 break from Heathman.

The lead was short lived though with Emptage, Hurford and Kevin Rich restoring order and with it a 3-1 win West Devon. Highlight of the night was a superb 42 break from Kevin Rich underlining his imperious form this season.

* The semi finals next week are between West Devon A and B teams. RBL A travel to Con D.
