Patrick Wallace, perhaps warming up for what proved to be his eighth Northern Ireland title triumph when he defeated Jordan Brown in Sunday's final in Cookstown, completed the big double of Open and Division One individual titles during finals week in the East Tyrone Snooker League.

And, typically, the Dungannon man climaxed the magnificent double achievement in the Kildress Plumbing Supplies individual series with a stunning break of 136, that total clearance being the break of the season - in what was the very last frame of the entire ETSL campaign.

That’s eleven open titles and six Division One - including the last four in the top section of Frank Hughes Bookmakers League!
