Chris Brooks / Scott Bates 2 - 1 Gary Spencer / John Fountain (08/01/08)
Gary Spencer knocked in a 39 break in the first frame to give the Arnold pair the lead. In the second frame Chris Brooks and Scott Bates pulled back a twenty odd point deficite to draw themselves level. The final frame was very scrappy with all the reds at the wrong end of the table however this favoured the Arnold pair who had built up a twenty point lead. All four players were guilty of missing pots as the frame became a battle of nerves and a couple of poor safety shots from John Fountain helped the Pegasus pair back into the frame. Scott Bates then held his nerve to take a black from the last red and then sink yellow, green and brown to win the match with a 17 break.
