Our heads-up encounter was between Coppull’s Darren Lane and Leyland’s Alan Hall who were battling for two excellent prizes, a trip to Las Vegas and £200 cash. The tournament was soon over as Darren’s A-2 was comfortably ahead of Alan’s optimistic 3-2 and with a following board of 6-7-A-10-6 Darren Lane was the new North West regional champion.
