Joyce began the session with a 6-5 win over Danny Baggish, who was on a high after sealing his Ally Pally return but couldn't defeat 'Relentless' who produced a 14-darter in the deciding leg to seal it.
Baggish started brighter with a 119 checkout to break throw and went 3-2 up but Joyce started a run of three legs on the spin including a 71 checkout on the bull en route to going 5-4 up.
'The Gambler' comfortably held throw but Joyce threw in the decider and wrapped it up on double 16.
While Chisnall saw off Jamie Hughes wrapping up a 6-3 win over 'Yozza' as he looks to continue the recent form he has shown on the European Tour and it was certainly a display of a man in form with a 98.3 average, three 180's and a high checkout of 155.
That 155 was to start the tie and after exchanging legs, Chisnall surged into the distance going 4-1 up. Hughes responded breaking back at 4-3 but pivotally missed two at double 12 and Chizzy broke back and made him pay going onto seal the win and will now face Joe Cullen in a repeat of 2022 Masters final.
