CORONATION CUP
Andy Draper won his second singles title of the season last weekend when he won the Coronation Cup, having previously won the Championship Cup. After two comfortable victories in the early rounds, Andy had to come back from 20-15 down against Jim Halsall in the semi-final. His opponent in the final was Fergal Wright, who had enjoyed wins against Len Southworth (21-16), Alan Lloyd (21-13) and in the semi-final, Peter Croston (21-12). The final looked like going all the way with the scores level at 13 across but Andy took control of the match at this point, scoring 5 chalks in four ends to lead 18-13. Although Fergal scored two to close the gap to 15-18, Andy was able to win the next two ends to win the game 21-15.
A plate competition was held for players losing in their first game and this was won by Alan Hatton, with a 15-7 win against Len Southworth in the final.
