The club is one week closer to finding out who’s name will be on the Premier League trophy at the end of this year’s season. One thing we do know for certain, is that there will be a new name on the cup this year.
On Thursday morning, Jamie Maher and Andy Peel played in the first prelim final, with Jamie getting off to a great start taking the first five legs.
After a short break, Andy claimed his first leg of the match, but Jamie kept the pressure on with a 71 and a 133 checkout to go 7/1 ahead.
Andy fought hard, winning three of the next four legs, but ultimately the head start proved to be too big for Andy to reel in, and with Jamie checking out so well, the match finished with him winning the contest 10/4.
In the second preliminary final, 3rd placed Joe Wilson had to battle it out with Dom Friend, who finished the league in 4th, for a place in this year’s final.
This match began in similar fashion to the other final with Dom taking command of the match early. With a 7-nil lead, and hitting a 180 as well as a 122-bullseye checkout, Dom was in full control, and the result looked inevitable.
Joe to his credit though came back strong and had Dom worried when he hit his own 117-ton checkout.
With the match nicely poised at 8/5, Dom looked a little uncomfortable, and had to find something extra to get across the finish line, but at 9/5 the writing was on the wall.
Joe had given it his all, but in the end, he left himself with too much to do. The final score was 10/5 to Dom, meaning both Jamie and Dom will contest this year’s Premier League final.
