In an extremely tough match it went to the deciding frame and the Scorpions dragged themselves over the winning line 8-7 over their stablemates, Tigers Pool Team, who deserve a lot of credit for making this a nail biter right to the final black which was slotted home by Scorpions’ Darren Haddock pictured below.

15. Play off frame between Stephen Simpson (Tigers) v Darren Haddock Scorpions… 
Stephen Simpson had already chalked up 4 wins on the night (two against Darren Haddock in singles).



But it was Darren Haddock who prevailed in this most important frame of the night. 
Well done Fish and the rest of the Scorpions and again some effort from the Tigers.
