8 competitors form Fylde, Westmorland, Bury, Llanfairfechan and Stonyhurst turned up to contest this trophy which was played in 2 blocks of 4 and a final between the winners of each block.
Ged Smolskas (0) triumphed over all 3 in his block – Alison Broughton (6) Fylde, Elaine Crook (10 Llanfairfechan and Benedict O’Connor (6) Stonyhurst
In the other block Phil Snowden (2) Fylde was equal on 2 wins with Sue Pritchard (3.5) Westmorland but won through on a who beat who tie break. Other block members Barry Broughton (5) Fylde and Gabby Smolskiene (10) Bury.
The final was nip and tuck with Phil Snowden overcoming Ged having wasted his 2 bisques at hoop 1! A very happy day with great weather (considering the day before!!!)
Particular thanks to Elaine travelling from Llanfairfechan – it was a delight to see you in your first ever tournament.
