The EPFs first scotch doubles tournament was played at Dianes pool hall on the 21st june.
A lower than expected turnout of 17 pairs were punched into the EPFs new electronic draw system which produced an horrendous draw for a few of the top pairs once the drawmaster pressed the magic button.
First prelim tie saw P Cruickshank/M Leaske take 5 frames on the bounce to beat B Murray/K Twaddle 5-1.
First round highlights saw J Gifford/G Gillespie have a convincing 5-0 win over reigning doubles champs M Conlon/B Doig.
R Hoy/G Smith scraping through 5-4 against ladies Y Saunders/V Hedge and Cruickshank/Leaske Losing very very unluckily to D Dudgeon/R Anderson.
Also there were 5-0 wins for J Robertson/T McCartan and C Ronaldson/C Scott.
The quarter finals saw M Mcgregor/M Gilroy and T Currie/J Ferguson both win to set up the first semi
Gillespie/Gifford dished out another 5-0 pumping while Robertson/McCartan ended Anderson/Dudgeons dreams.
Both semis finished 5-3 but both matches should have gone to the wire with winners Mcgregor/Gilroy and Robertson/McCartan taking Advantage of missed chances and heading into the final
Congratulations to Jimmy Robertson/Tony McCartan(Harp A) beating Mark Mcgregor/Mark Gilroy(Harp B) 7-4 in the final.
