MICK Andrews opened his 2003 account in the Sunday Morning Flyers by defeating Jamie Fitzpatrick 21-6 in last weekend's final.

Fitzpatrick had been in good form up to this point and started the day by beating the previous week's winner, Tom Walker. However, in the final, he was never in the game, giving Andrews a comfortable victory.
