Congratulations to David Ferguson who took out the 2023/24 Men’s Major Singles Championship defeating Ben Twist 25-18.
Ben started the better of the two, finding his draw game from the beginning, and jumping out to a 7-1 lead. David then started to find his range, winning 5 out of the next 6 ends to narrow the margin to a single shot, Ben leading 8-7. A count of 3 to Ben saw him extend his lead to 11-7, however, David would then take charge of the match, winning the next 5 ends, picking up 12 shots to jump out to a 19-11 lead. Ben then picked up a 2, only for David to follow up with a maximum count of 4 to lead 23-13. Ben bounced back scoring a 3 to make it 23-16. A single to David put him “all but” at 24-16. Ben managed a 2 on the next end, but then David closed the door on the match, picking up the single shot he needed, to take the match & the title 25-18.
Congratulations to both players who put on a great display for the crowd on hand, as well as the people watching the livestream.
David will now go on to represent St Johns Park at the NSW Champion of Champion Singles at the beginning of May.
