Tyacks Colts 5 Red Jacket Eagles 8 With the league fixtures complete, the Team knock out Cup Final of the the Jolly's Camborne-Redruth Premier Pool League took centre stage as reigning league and cup holders Red Jackets Eagles came up against surprise package Tyacks Colts in the best-of-15 frames match contested at the neutral venue of the White Hart.

With the score at 5-1 to the Eagles going into the three doubles frames, anything other than the Tyacks Colts winning the session would do to keep them in the match. They had the best possible start though as Heard and Moyle combined well to get the better of Burrows and Jamie Turnbull to pull the deficit back to three frames at 5-2. Metcalfe and Jory regained the four-frames lead for Red Jackets before Saundry and Jo McGuire teamed up to clear up the last few balls to get the better of Ball and Clift, leaving the scoreline at 6-3 in the Eagles favour going into the final session.

Edwards was evntually left with the unenviable task of requiring a win over Burrows to keep the Colts in the match. He failed and the Eagles managed to win by an 8-5 margin.

Colts: L. Saundry, J. Bowden, C. Heard, J. Edwards, P. Gee (capt), M. Moyle, J. McGuire.

Eagles: A. Jory, D. Metcalfe, A.Clift (capt), R. Burrows, T. Prigg, G. Ball, J. Turnbull.
