Averill faced Graeme Farrington in the final and the Ighten Mount cueist - receiving 25 off Averill - took a close first frame on the big table.

However, Averill took control of the tie on the small table with a potent potting display, before winning the head-to-head on his return to the big table. And the title was sealed in the fourth frame with a 66 break.

Meanwhile, with six matches left in the Pendle Kitchens Burnley and District Snooker League, both Burnley Golf Club teams are fighting for honours in their respective divisions. The A team is currently battling for the title with Burnley Snooker Club A in the top tier, while the B team is running away with the championship.

Both teams also have players going very well in the order of merit, with Mark Ridgeway showing superb form for the A team, and Kim Stevens and captain John Wray doing the same for the B team.

There’ll also be an enticing finish at the other end of the A Division, with five teams fighting to escape relegation.
