Zimmer gave Breakaways a good start with 14 but they could not match the Spares and a hand of 66 gave the visitors a 19 pin lead.
A 11 stick up from L.Gatehouse helped Spares to a 67 score on the third hand, but Breakaways bounced back with a 74 hand with stick ups from Pauly Painter (14) and Gribo (13) to pull 7 pins back.
A poor fourth hand of 56 from Spares gave the home side a chance, and they had the perfect start when the top two both had stick ups Zimmer (16) and Jim Bob (14) the rest of the hand was 8's and 9's as a total of 79 was hit to give the Wool side a 11 pin lead.
Doug Chalmers 16 helped Spares to a 68 on the fifth hand and they managed to pull back 8 pins as Breakaways could only hit 60.
Doug was again amongst the stick ups on the sixth hand and his 11 and R.Wills's 12 gave Spares a 69 hand to put the pressure on the home side, but again Zimmer gave Breakaways a great start with a 15 stick up which led to a 75 hand and gave Breakaways a 9 pin lead.
The last hand saw Doug Chalmers claim his fourth stick up of the night as he hit 13, but Spares could only manage a 63 hand to leave Breakaways 54 to win, there were no more stick ups for the Wool side but a hand of 65 gave them a 11 pin victory and two wins out of two.
Not surprisingly Zimmer was top for the home side with 76 and his score was matched by Doug Chalmers of the Spares.
