Play continued on day 2 with matches in eight of the nine categories which are being contested. In category A, Alex Cheeks continued his impressive run of form when he came from behind to defeat Daniel Islam in another entertaining match. Daniel won a close first game 11 – 8 but Alex won the next two games fairly easily 11 – 5, 11 – 4. The fourth game went back and forth but eventually Alex got to match ball at 10 – 8, however Daniel was not giving up without a fight. He won the next two points to even the scores at ten all, then it was eleven all, then twelve all, but Alex secured the next two points to record a well deserved victory. In the other match in category A, Shomari Wiltshire proved to be too good for Anthony Islam winning 11- 4, 11 – 5, 11 – 3.
