WORLDPOOL OO
removing Dinnington fromtheir list of hazards of contenders, Northwich were taking care of Trent Trophies B.
seen in the 30 years of the event.
Poor old Midland Railway ran out of steam very quickly. They lost frame after frame and eventually went down 9-1. With the final moving on to three tables sometimes it can all be a bit of a blur if you are not ready for it.
Trent Trophies of course are well used to it but for Northwich this was their first appearance in a National Final.
Trent Trophies came out with all guns blazing and virtually killed the contest off within the first six frames.

In the quarter finals, there was no let up from Trent Trophies as they crushed Hammersmith 9-3. No team enjoys losing but they certainly want to go down fighting.
And Hammersmith couldn’t mount a serious challenge-a result that probably said more about the power of Trent Trophies A than it did about Hammersmith’s weaknesses.
Northwich kept on track for their first final by taking out the local boys South Norfolk 10-7.
This was an excellent result for Northwich as, over the years, the Norfolk’s boys have always proved to be a difficult team.
The eventwas nowdown to four teams. Trent Trophies A took on the tougher of the survivors, Sun Valley, who have won the Interleague title before.
But like the rest, they had no real answer to Trent Trophies and could only muster five frames before the champions’ elect reached the magical nine frames.

Northwich rallied slightly and managed to notch up four frames but Trent Trophies were in no mood to be nice and rattled of the remaining frames to run out 9-4 winners.
Thismeans that Trent Trophies are running out of space to list their achievements and in a nice gesture Gareth Potts gave his winners’ trophy to James Coffey – the 10-year-old who had made the draw that saw Trent Trophies remain the world’s greatest Interleague team by some distance.
