Frank Eaves Memorial Winners - Q8 Sports Bar!

Congratulations to Q8 Sports Bar who defeated Golborne CMC A in the final of the Frank Eaves Memorial Team KO.

Liam Gollop and Carlton Lawrenson won the first two frames to put Q8 into a commanding lead, then up stepped Peter Monks and Matt Lawrenson against Martin Wingrove and Bill Cocker respectively. Peter potted like a man possessed winning quite easily in the end to put Q8 3-0 ahead so the focus switched to Matty's frame.

As expected, both Matty and Bill produced some quality snooker and following some excellent safety exchanges on the colours, Matty eventually potted the pink and secure a 4-0 victory for Q8.
