The Grosvenor Casino in Edinburgh was the host of our South Scotland regional final on this occasion. The tournament saw a near perfect turn-out as the latest trip to Las Vegas was awarded to the days lucky winner. The region saw Davie Marr and Craig McLuckie return straight from Las Vegas looking to book their ticket straight back there.

The Pyramid Snooker Club in Kilmarnock just pipped East Lothians Hopetoun to the team event title. Ian Schaffer, Gary Ross & Ivy Wood represented the club.
