Omar, of Craigongower Cricket Club, and holder, by 21 shots to 20 after being in arrears at 14-2 and 18-6 when the holder needed only three shots for victory!

M. N. Rakusen and F. J. Jones both of, Civil Service Cricket Club, met in the other semi-final and although Jones was favoured, Rakusen caused the second upset of the day by winning 21-18.
