On a cloudy and initially drizzly afternoon, Thornton le Dale played Seamer in the Cup and Cayton faced Pickering in the Shield.

In the Cup, Seamer took an early lead to be 12 shots up after 6 ends. They maintained their lead, albeit with Thornton le Dale reducing it to 10 shots at the halfway point thanks to their players on rink 6 who had established a lead. With 4 ends to play, Seamer still had a lead of 10 shots but with 2 ends to go the lead had been reduced to 4 shots. The remaining two ends saw Thornton le Dale score 10 shots - winning overall by 6 shots
Seamer 44 shots, Thornton le Dale 50 shots
Rink 4 18-13
Rink 5 16-15
Rink 6 10-22
In the Shield it was a similar story initially with Cayton leading 21-12 after 6 ends. By the halfway point they led by 11, but rink 3 of Pickering had a healthy lead and essentially kept them in the match. The gap narrowed to 5 shots with 4 ends remaining. With 2 ends the play, Pickering had reduced the gap to 3 shots. On the last end with the skips to play the gap was down to 2 shots. In the end Pickering could not bridge the gap and Cayton won 47-45
Rink 1 16-9
Rink 2 22-11
Rink 3 9-25
