Clayton saw off Beaton in a 6-2 win averaging almost 103. He has only lost five legs all weekend and looks to be on the charge to potentially a first title of the year. He hit two ton-plus checkouts against the Bronzed Adonis with 54.5% on the outer ring.
Starting off with a 118, Clayton raced into a 4-0 lead from there before Beaton finally held throw but Clayton went one away with a 100 checkout and despite an 87 checkout hold, Beaton showed no more resistance as 'The Ferret' sealed it.
While for Chisnall, it was a 6-4 success over Schindler who anchored home hopes and potentially looked likely to carry those through at one point.
Sat 4-3 up, Chisnall pinned a 90 checkout using bull, double 20 to hold for 4-4 parity before breaking on double five after Schindler couldn't take out 71 and it was 5-4 before a 74 checkout to seal it as the St Helens ace mastered the combination shots.
