The Winmau Centre at the Woverhampton Sports Arena was one of 20 UK venues to stage a regional final for the prestigious Worthington Champion of Champions Competition organised by Red Dragon. The West Midlands regional qualifier was played off over Saturday and Sunday and in the Saturday final Jamie Barrowman won 2-0 against Christi Maniola.
Sunday’s final was fought out between Sam Guest and Kristian Wharton, the former winning through 2-0 to set up a play off between Guest and Saturday’s winner Jamie Barrowman.
The final went the full three legs distance and could easily have gone either way but with Barrowman missing finishing doubles it was Sam Guest who got the 2-1 verdict and will now go through to represent the West Midlands in the grand finals at St David’s Hall, Cardiff on August 30th with the chance to walk away with an amazing top prize of £5,000.
