Final – Host Wenvoe PC.
After the close match against the Monkstone PC in the morning, there was a mad dash to Wenvoe PC to play in the final against SWBRC-PS, who beat Pontyclun PC to reach the final. After winning five out of the six singles matches, giving them an eight-game point lead, they lost the three doubles games, allowing SWBRC-PS back into the game. At this point, SWBRC-PS were one game point ahead of Caerleon PC. The final came down to the wire, with SWBRC-PS required to win only one triple against Caerleon PC, who needed to win both.
Caerleon was the first to strike, the team of Vaughan, Coombs & Tomczyk taking the mixed singles 13/7 and gaining the first valuable 5 points, bringing their total match points to 15 against SWBRC’s 11. The second triple was needed to take the title for either team.
Unfortunately, SWBRC’s Robic, Bailey & Field team missed critical shots. It failed to stop Caerleon’s triple of Harris Jnr, Mayfield and Harris Snr, ultimately winning the game (13/8), encounter (20/11) and 2024 Championship Title.
