LOWER DIVISION SINGLES : TONY THWAITES (WINDMILL) V CHRIS REEVES (WINDMILL)

Chris Reeves added the Lower Division singles to his Lower Division Masters title he won last September. He is the fourth player to complete this double  - Simon Christian, John Robertson & Michelle Baden are the others. Chris showed early nerves losing his opening break of around 3k and Tony opened a small lead. Chris came back with a break at the end to win the first game. Tony hit back with a scrappy win in the 2nd game but when he only went off with a few in the decider Chris showed his class and ran out a comfortable winner.

OPEN DOUBLES : GRANT TULLY & MARK JAMES (STADIUM) v BILL KERR & ARTHUR BREWSTER (GRENADIER)

Bill Kerr & Arthur Brewster upset the form book with a 2-0 win over Grant Tully & Mark James to take the Open Doubles title. Bill and Arthur won a very scrappy first game to put Grant & Mark under pressure, and when Bill secured a handy lead in the 2nd game Grant's break at the end was not enough.
