Labanauskas continues form with victory over Evans, Beaton edges out Smith in vintage display

Labanauskas was impressive yesterday and hit a 102 average in seeing off Ricky Evans. This was after a 104 average in his first round win and he also hit 6/10 on his doubles en route. Beaton continues to roll back the years and put in a vintage display with a 102 average to see off Michael Smith. Smith has not had luck on his side so far this season and that continues with him being edged out 6-4. Webster continues his return to form with an excellent win over Joe Cullen. He had to survive a spirited fight back but didn’t fold when it mattered to move into the final day.
