Webster only has Keane Barry standing in his way of claiming it with most of the rest of the day to spare for the other players. The former Lakeside champion began with a bang smashing in a 109 average in a 5-1 win over Paul Nicholson.

En route he hit four 180's and finishes of 126 and 121 on the bull which was a sign of wins to come. He followed that up with a hard fought win over the last winner Mike Warburton 5-3.

Then made it three in a row by seeing off Stephen Burton 5-2 with a 96 average. Another hard fought win was to come as he saw off Scott Mitchell 5-4 with a 99 average. Could 'Webby' cement another group win later today?
