In Event 5, the semi-final brought surprises. Four-time World Cup participant Ben Robb lost 2-6 to John Haring and experienced Warren Parry was whitewashed 0-6 by Caiton Milne.
Milne, who had already won a DPNZ tournament earlier this year, then surprisingly lost to Haring 4-7 in the final.
In the second match of the weekend, Ben Robb was already in the last 32 against Dion Toki. Warren Barry lost to Jamie Roberts in the same round.
Roberts reached the semi-finals, but lost 0–6 to Caitlin Milne. In the other semi-final, Jordan White defeated Jaime Hylton-Jones 6-4. In the final again Gayden Milne had to settle for runner-up, Jordan White winning 7-5.
Milne now tops the rankings and is therefore in a virtual World Cup spot, although Ben Robb is still behind him.
