Roy Sipson versus John Poots. (John has the opportunity to become the oldest winner of the Matchplay ever. But It’s asking a lot for him to beat Roy Sipson.)

James Bryson versus Ashton Clydesdale. (James is the lone survivor of the eight seeded players. He is expected to progress into the semi-final.)

Cecil Wilson versus Christopher Lennon. (It will be close but Cecil might have the edge when it comes to experience and matchplay craft.)
