finish was the highlight of the session.
The other match was a rather arduous affair - Ian White won in the end 3:2 against Mervyn King. In the evening the
atmosphere in the venue was even better from the start and Ross Smith and Andreas Harrysson delighted the crowd with a thrilling match in which Harrysson surprisingly prevailed 3:2.
After that Ricky Evans sparked the crowd with his walk-on even more and deservedly won 3:0 against Man Lok Leung who only played good in the
third set. In the match between Gian van Veen and Cristo Reyes it took some time till Reyes had settled but then he made live difficult for van Veen who only
just stopped Reyes to draw 2:2 and won 3:1. In the last match Damon Heta played against Steve Lennon and won 3:1.

Lisa Ashton who was cheered a lot by the crowd and won 3:0 as did reigning champion Luke Littler against Darius Labanauskas. But the match was not as onesided as the result
- two of the sets went into the deciding leg and in the last set Labanauskas had his chances as well. In the last match Madars Razma made life rather difficult for him against
the dutch debutant Jamai van den Herik who didn't score as well as Razma but Razma had problems to hit his doubles. In the end the rather tense Razma won with 3:1.
