Lionel Tibble beat James Hawkins to win the final of the Southport Advanced Weekend on 15-16 September.

Mark Ormerod beat Phill Scarr to win the plate event, on a day of miserable drizzle. The spectators' highlight of the event was the endgame between Brian Christmas, in his first A class event, and Dave Nick. Brian had been pegged out while for 4-back vs 3 and peg. In some adventurous play, he jawsed his ball in penult from corner 2 before Dave scrambled round to peg. Dave took out one ball, leaving partner six inches from the peg and Brian near corner 3; Brian hit his last shot to win by 1.
