On the road, at Ballinacurra, Denis Wilmot enjoyed a victory over Michael Desmond, playing for €2,200 a-side. Wilmot enjoyed a fast start, and after five shots to the Waterworks had raised a bowl on Desmond that he held past the sheds and on for the bridge. Desmond got a super bowl to the silvery gates that knocked the bowl as Wilmot only made Innishannon Cross. After his next, only 35 metres separated them. Desmond undid all his good work when he missed sight with his 12th shot, and Wilmot went out onto the straight. At the Junior C line it was almost a bowl of odds again in Wilmot’s favour. Even though Desmond pushed him for a last shot, Wilmot had too much odds and won easily.

​

Shannonvale held a Jasper Coleman Cup score between Donal O'Riordan and Edmund Sexton, playing for a stake of €2,600 a-side. This score went to the last shot where Riordan played a huge effort and won by 50 metres. In a return score Johnny O'Driscoll beat Jim Coffey by three bowls for €1,000 a-side.

​

At Beal na Marbh in a Hancy Hubbard Cup quarter-final, Ger Connolly had a convincing win over John A Murphy, playing for €3,000 a-side. Also at Beal na Marbh, Martin McSweeney took the honours in the final of the Tigh Ui Laoghaire Cup, as he got the better of Matty McDonagh, for a stake of €2,800 a-side.

​

In Caheragh Darragh Dempsey beat David Hegarty by two bowls of odds, playing for €4,300 a-side. At the soccer pitch gate in four each, Dempsey had five metres of odds. After three more to the lawn he extended his odds to 25 metres, raised a bowl at Shelly's farm and raised a second bowl at the finish line.​ The Lyre men lost a return score also when Mark Shannon beat PJ O'Driscoll by the last shot, for €2,200 a-side.

​

Ballyhooley held a City–East–North East junior A score between Michael Quilligan and John O'Donoghue Snr, played for no stake, that the former won.
