After an horrendous start to the evening ( with teams supposedly on the way not turning up, one team pulling out after a complaint and one team going home even though the complained about team withdrew ) and the group stage going from four per group to three per group then back to four per group ( and you think it’s confusing to read – try sorting it out ) the matches started at 8:40.
By 9:00, after I had threatened to give the teams their money back and go home, a pool night broke out ( I think it was an accident ) with some exceptional games taking place.
At the end of the group stage a three way tie occurred in group one that saw the team from Madeley WMC exit on a black playoff, a hard way to leave after travelling the furthest and playing well.
In the knockout stage three Plaza teams and a team from the Manor fought it out, with Plaza One ( Cooper / Warburton & Iqbal ) reaching the final against the Manor ( Caine / Johnson & Rushton ).
The final frames saw Plaza take frame one, Manor frame two, and after a cagey third frame Javed ( Maz ) Iqbal took the last frame for the Plaza.
Matches finished by 12:15.
