John Aldersley congratulates Steve
Gliddon after the Major Singles final

The final of the men's major singles saw the long-awaited shoot-out between two of Gordon's top players in recent years - John Aldersley, the defending champion, and Steve Gliddon, winner for the preceding five years.

A Saturday morning match, played before more spectators than ever seen for a club championship, it was nip and tuck in the early ends until both players approached the 20 shot mark

Then Steve played a succession of brilliant shots to storm home 31-21, his 7th win in the last 9 years. Congratulations to both players on a great match. We look forward to next year - but look out guys for that Rookie champ!
