The last 8 players then played each other with the top 4 qualifying for the final stage. This was a tense and exciting struggle. Shane O'Connor topped the group but there was a 4 way playoff for the remaining 3 places. Odd man out and an unlucky loser was Mick McGowan who wired tops with 3 darts thus failing to qualify.
