Umm Al Hassam beat Busaiteen 6-2, finishing with 2,088 pins to their opponents' 1,992. Mohammed Muhannad Al Ansari topped the scoring with 626.

Sanad also secured a 6-2 victory over Isa Town in the closest contest of the round. Sanad edged the pin count by just seven, scoring 1,824 against Isa Town's 1,817.
