Meadow Hill 'C's excellent cup run came to an end at Eagley where Eagley 'A' took all 12 sets to make light of Meadow Hill's +45 handicap.
The closest of the quarter-finals was at Walmer where the home club's 'B' team had a +54 advantage over Meadow Hill 'A'. Meadow Hill's nerve held and they ran out 71 games to 68 winners.
