With the league, league cup and consolation cup already decided (congratulations to the Hustlers, Entertainers and Murray respectively), we now move into the last two cup competitions of the season to see who will lift the prestigious Robert Black Cup, and the newly created Silver Cup.
The tie of the round has to go to newly crowned League Cup champions the Entertainers who host the Flukesters. The two teams have faced each other three times this season already, with the Entertainers coming out on top in all three matches, including a triumph in the League Cup semi final. The Flukesters will be going all out in trying to retain their trophy from last year and put a stop to the slide against the 'tainers.
It's always a fiery affair when the Hustlers travel to play the Top Guns, and tonight should be no different. Andy Mason's men have always raised their game when facing the Hustlers, however Stevie Kelly’s men have been a force this season, dropping only seven points on their way to a historic fifth title win.
The Murray host Greenhills in what many view as their derby match and should be another closely contested match. The Murray are fresh off the back of their consolation cup win, while the agony of losing a final frame playoff in the League Cup final will still haunt the Greenhills. However, the 'hills have had an amazing season so far, only just being denied third place in the league and reaching one of the major cup finals, and they will look to go one better this time in the Robert Black Cup.
Completing the quarter final line up is the Hotshots-Club 2000. The Club have been the surprise package this year reaching the top 8 and proving they can hang with the bigger teams, while the Hotshots poor start to the season cost them any chance of breaking into the top three and mounting a serious title challenge.
In the Silver Cup, Westwood need just four frames to see off Centre One and book their place in the quarter finals proper,
while the tie of the round pits the Tower against the team they piped in the league on the last day, the Greenhills Shooters.
After finishing in their highest ever position in the league, the Also Rans will hope to cause another upset when they host the Hunters, while the Sharpshooters take the journey to Eglinton to face off against the Eagles.
