Chris Bird triumphed against Paul Redfern 5-4 in a fantastic final of the 7th REDSL Grand Slam, arguably the hardest REDSLl competition of the year.
After four hours of group action sixteen players emerged with the remaining 32 having a chance to win the non-qualifiers competition. In the main event last year’s winner Henry Coates and the ever-impressive Andy Houghton were losing semi-finalists with Stuart Mitchell-Meynell, Ian Richardson, Derbyshire Legend Jim Beardmore and Keith Lodge making the quarter-finals.
As champion, Chris Bird received £250 and as runner-up, Paul Redfern collected £125. There was £75 for the losing semi-finalists and £40 for the players going out in the last eight.
Twenty-five players competed in the non-qualifiers competition with Loz Barnes taking the £50 winners prize and beating Ant Parry in the final 3-0, the losing semi-finalists were Josh Gould and Lee Arkwright.
