There was still only one mat and it was going to be a very long night!!
The evening kicked off with the fours skipped by Derick. After 6 ends Alma were leading 6-5 the final end was a nervous affair with Llanpumsaint picking up 2 on the last end to take a 7-6 win.
Next up were the triples, again it was nip and tuck with Llanpumsaint again taking an 8-6 win.
Peter and Huw took to the mat and continued the trend with with an 8-4 win.
By now it was 10.15 p.m. and the final match of the evening. Dylan from Alma and Aled from Llanpumsaint playing the singles.

The final score was 7-5 to Dylan.
After a very late night Llanpumsaint won overall 6-2
