In the first semi-final, Lee Heaton (Brownedge Saints) plays Simon Coupe (Hoghton), while in the second semi-final, Mark Britton (Wigan) will be taking on Wayne Ditchfield (Hoghton).
Preston's Joan Jolly was in fine form in the Isle Of Man June Festival. The St Joseph's and Lancs ace reached the final before losing 21-13 to Joyce Foxcroft (Kings Arms, Hale).
