Rob Dicken (24 break) set the tone with an 88-23 success in the opener before Tom Chambers continued the good work with a 71-54 verdict over Ian McKay, who top scored for the vanquished.
Even better was the come with Christmas champion Sean Dobney oozing confidence in compiling breaks of 48,28 and 22 en route to a century points haul in frame three.
