More shocks for top teams in Bistro Quarter-Finals

Veterans League

Four Division 1 teams featured in the Quarter-Finals of the 2023 Bistro KO but only one survived and progressed through to the Sem-Finals. That was Longwood who surprisingly beat the reigning title holders, Lockwood Con 'A', by 107-81. Their reward for that win is a Semi-Final tie against Brockholes 'A' who didn't need their 13 aggregate start to see off another Division 1 side in Lowerhouses.

The closest tie was between Division 5 leaders, Milnsbridge 'B' and Division 3 strugglers Lockwood Con 'B' where a 120-119 aggregate scoreline proved just enough to compensate Lockwood Con for their A team exit as their B team went through to the Semi-Finals after overcoming the 20-chalk aggregate start that Milnsbridge 'B' had.
