The men’s C team, who were also reigning champions, found the early deficit was too just much to make up and couldn’t close it quickly enough as they eventually lost out 14-10.
The men’s A team, however, managed to fight back from being 4-1 and 8-5 down to finally go in front for the first time at 10-9 and eventually going on to clinch the title at 14-11 with a masterclass finish from club legend Steve Webster which was streamed live on pool channel “rhinotv”.
They also made history being the first team to win the A section of the tournament fielding a youth player in their line up.
