So, we now head into the 3rd quarter-final, with whoever winning today's match having the privilege of taking on Jonathan Wynn in the 2nd semi-final on Tuesday.

Our 3rd match sees the only completely non-Apterite match in these finals, as the #3 seed, Stephen "The Birmingham Bulldozer" Briggs takes on the #6 seed, Judy "The Burwell Bamboozler" Bursford, which if the stats are to be believed below, could possibly be very one-sided......

Not the most exciting QF ever, but solid scoring from Stephen (after round 1).
