Our 10 player North East final got underway with Kevin Sams leading the way after helping secure the team trophy. Declan Raine soon hit the rail in 10th place with Matthew Watts in 9th, Gary Jeffrey 8th, Ian Walker 7th, Steven Wilson 6th, Kevin Sams 5th, Kevin Moriarty 4th & Mark Walsh 3rd. The tournament came to a swift end after Mark Keith looked down on K-K & Jeff Watson seeing A-Q. A Q in the window gave Jeff some extra outs but couldn’t improve further as Mark Keith took down the North East regional final.
