After several false starts and delays due to diary clashes and injuries, Veterans (Over 45) Champion David Falconer successfully defended his title yesterday against all comers, beating Mike Wright 3-0 (9/5, 9/2, 9/1) in a clinical demonstration of his power and experience.
Mike showed touches of his own improving form and confidence, but David was in no mood to give any quarter to his younger opponent. A sparse crowd saw only the briefest of finals as David followed a close first game by accelerating away with few unforced errors.
David and Mike are pictured below with their trophies.
