Sunday morning saw the open contestants competing for a place in the quarterfinal. From a good entry of 52 competitors down to 20 it was going to be tough to make the cut, quality of workmanship and speed would be the order of the day. The competition progressed through the afternoon with all the semi finals, with competitors reckoning that this is one of the hardest competitions to make it into the 4 stand final. 

The evening started off with the traditional hand-shearing event and saw Willie Shaw from Saline, Fife coming out the victor, ahead of past winner David Ferguson from Newton Stewart, with Peter Kennedy, Fort William and Mark Amrstrong, Ardeonaig taking 3rd and 4th places respectively.
