The final was a battle to the end with the match even at 3-3. Quinn got ahead 4-3 with Gallagher coming back again to make it 4-4. It went to 5-5 and both men had to play their top game to fight for the title. The last game saw fantastic darts from both players with Gallagher pulling out all the stops with a 180, 140 and 100 to finish out the game in 14 darts to clinch the title.

The Leech family would like to thank the Trawlerman Bar for hosting the event and all players who turned up on the day.
