With the early stages played as a round robin the qualifiers to reach the semi-final stage were 11-year-old Arran Dunn (Marown), who faced 12-year-old Kian Bradford (South Ramsey), with the younger of the two progressing to the final with a 21-16 victory.
In the other semi-final the older Juniors battled it out with Clark Kelly (Douglas) taking on Alex Hampson (Noble’s), with the latter also winning 21-16 to book his place in the final.
The final was a repeat of last year with Dunn taking on the current holder Hampson. With another year’s experience under his belt Arran’s all round game has improved to such an extent that he managed to turn a 10-21 defeat in last year’s final into a thoroughly deserved 21-10 victory to lift the title for the first time.
The presentation was made by Tina Hampson, with all competitors receiving a prize.
