ON a lovely spring morning in Birkenhead Park, Tixall's Jamie Fitzpatrick took his second win of this series of the Winter Flyers beating Hoylake Central's Tommy Walker in the final.

Fitzpatrick had a straight forward win in his quarter final game against Peter McGhee and then he came out on top in a very tight match against the player who has dominated the tournaments since the New Year, his team mate at Tixall Anthony O'Neill.

Walker reached his second successive final beating Ledham Royal's Andy Hormbrey in the quarters and then he had a good win in a close game with New Brighton Quarry Viking's Chris Barton.

The final was another very close game and Walker just fell away at the end and this allowed Fitzpatrick to snatch victory.
