Horsford BC were not done yet though as John Bugg’s triple beat Peter Fox 10-1 and Pauline Strivens beat Vic Webster 9-2. Another 7-4 win came Ted Griffin’s way in the penultimate session against Vic Webster but Horsford Heroes finally made certain of progressing into the next round as Mick Dale’s triple beat John Bugg by one shot leaving them 25-19 up on points. With victory now out of their reach Horsford BC conceded but what a fight they had put up in this terrific Bure Cup tie.
