It was a brilliant final this year with young Chriss Ferguson making his final debut and the experienced Darren Morgan aiming to win his fourth doubles title since joining the league over a decade ago.

However it wasn’t going to be a easy match as Paul Sweeney is in superb form at present after winning the charity night and his playing partner, Jim McGory, was also making his debut in this final which set up a very interesting match between the two set of teams.
