Moss went into a two-set lead (12-10 and 11-9), but Lowe took the next two (11-9 and 11-8).

Moss teamed up with Sessions team-mate Mick Wilcockson to win the men's doubles, defeating John Farmery and Graham Hatfield, of Holgate WMC, by three sets to two.

Hatfield sustained an injury in the fourth set but still took the match all the way, leading 10-9 in the deciding set before eventually losing 12-10.
