The Genting Club in Salford hosted the North West One regional final where we’d find 5 semi finalists, 7 cash prize winners and the all important Vegas 100 package winner.

The Rose & Crown in Chorley won the team event trophy as they almost had two finalists in Simon Wilson and R D Monk but both players fell short. James Martland also represented the venue.
