The good fortune that got us to the final did not desert us tonight as we had a few flukes when it mattered.  I played pretty well too, which helped, making breaks of 14 and 18 in the first frame and a 44 in the second.  My partner struggled a little tonight, but if it wasn't for him we would never have made it to the final.  Adam and Matt never really got going as they found themselves playing catch-up quite quickly in both frames, which only added to the pressure (in addition to the TV lights and huge audience!).

Absolutely delighted that we have won a trophy, particularly as it's our first season playing together.   :happy:

Now I've just got to hope that the handicap committee don't come down too hard on us next season.......
