Last night's Stan Brooke Pairs Final saw Jon Shaw and Martin Golden receiving 14 points per frame from Morley WMC duo Daniel Grimes and Andy Taffinder.
It was the more experienced Taffinder who settled first and a run of 17 quickly reduced the arrears. That was as good as it got for the Morley pairing however as a string of small contributions from Jon Shaw gave the frame to Shaw/Golden 72-52.
The second frame was another tight affair,Grimes potting a good Black to win the frame by 13 and reduce the arrears to just 7 points going into the final game.
Shaw/Golden started well but their opponents came back and it was anybody's match going into the colours.
Martin Golden eventually potted Brown and Blue to leave their opponents needing a snooker, but up stepped Andy Taffinder to lay a lovely snooker on pink and black which was missed to put them back in the match.A loose safety shot then left pink over the pocket and Martin Golden held his nerve to pot the pink and seal the match.
Overall score was 229-212.
Thanks to Alex Crumm for officiating and to the NSC for use of the facilities.
