First of the finals

Having seen off all the big guns in their respective groups, Raghu Iyer and Ed Olhausen found themselves the unlikely EV2 AC Handicap Competition finalists.

After some tense early exchanges with neither player finding any rhythm, Ed was the first to strike taking his first ball to rover with a tidy break. The pressure was on Raghu to pick the right moment to use his one bisque to help get him back in the game. Ed frustrated Raghu's attempts to build a break by leaving his balls in opposite corners of the lawn. This strategy paid off as Ed finally hit in from distance and was able to take his second ball to rover and peg out both balls. The match finished 26-1.

Congratulations to both players for making it through to the final and to our EV2 champion: Ed.
