CHAMPIONSHIP CUP
Congratulations to Chris Porter on winning the Championship Cup with a 21-16 win against Derek Ainsworth in the final.
Having overcome Dave White in his first game, Chris had two good wins against Vultures team-mates Liam Gregson (21-16) and in the semi-final, Darren Edgerley by a narrow 21-20 scoreline. Derek reached the final with wins against Terry Corfield (21-5), Kevin McCormack (21-19), Mark Rowlinson (21-6) and in another close semi-final, Mike Milne (21-19).
The final started off with neither player dominating and after twelve ends Chris led 8-7 but three 2s put Chris in control of the match to lead 14-7. Although Derek was able to win five consecutive ends to close the gap to 15-17, CP was able to score the chalks required to claim the title. Chris had previously won this competition 33 years ago in 1988 !!!
