In the first semi final it was Ronan who ran out the winner after needing all the colors in the fourth frame to take the match
In the second semi it was Aaron who had a 2-1 lead before George leveled to force a decider which George won to take the match by 3 frames to 1
Final
- Ronan McGuirk 0 v 3 George O Hara
In the final it was George who took an early 2 nil lead before Ronan tried to force his way back into the match but it was George who came out on top to take his first National title.
SBI would like to congratulate George on taking his first National title and we wish him every success going into the National Seniors Championships in a couple of weeks time.
