FINAL
Gerry McCorry & Ryan Marcus 5-0 Michael Wilson & Stephen Herron
After a nervy Quarter Final, McCorry & Marcus never looked back and put on a masterclass of Blackball Pool running off nine racks without reply to claim the title. Ibrox duo Michael Wilson & Stephen Herron had a great run to the Final but were unable to stop the McCorry/Marcus tide.
Just a useless fact but the number 5 was prevalent for the winning pair. Both Play for League leaders Five, Gerry is 52, Ryan is 15, they won 5 rounds to lift the title, Gerry had won 5 Doubles titles before tonight and they won 5-0 in the Final !!! Thanks to all 30 teams who entered the event, next week we have a break from Pool for St Valentine's Day giving all you League romantics the chance to spoil your partners and book a table for two somewhere. As long as it's not a Table numbered 1-10 !!!!!!!!!! 😉💗
