Even more impressive was Ved’s performance, beating Simon 13-10 in a tense semi final match.
Ved kept up his form in the final with two consecutive counts of 3 to lead Jallal 7-0 after three ends, but Jallal justified his position of number 1 shooter in England and the region by levelling the score in three ends with some impressive spot carreaux.The next three or four ends were equally shared before Jallal’s shooting sealed a 13-10 win.

So two APA titles in a row for Jallal, but Ved should be proud of his performance.
In the Plate final, Peter Astle won a very one sided game beating Michael Wray.
