Dave Earls is one of the form players in the league and he restored Canton’s lead after beating Chris Johnson, before Simon Takata took the match to a deciding frame after he beat Dave Standage.

Mackintosh lead the way at the top of Division One at the halfway stage as they won 3-2 away to Taff’s Well, and had to come from behind after Rhys Carpenter beat Eassa Din in a marathon frame.
