BEN AND ANDREW POCKET LAST TROPHY OF SEASON

ANDREW GRATTON and BEN MONK proved too strong in the Hartshorne Cup final.

THE much delayed Hartshorne Cup 2-man team final eventually went ahead this week and it was Ben Monk and Andrew Gratton of Marehay who took the spoils with an excellent 3-1 success over Jaxx's Jimmy Gratton and Hannah Jones.
Ben took the opening frame aided by a 36 break en route to a 79-21 verdict over Jimmy before Andrew increased the advantage, defeating Hannah 82-17 with a run of 41.
Jimmy then pulled a frame back, overcoming his brother Andrew 60-18 but Ben was taking no prisoners on the evening and in another polished display he finished with a 77-34 triumph over Hannah to pocket another trophy for the Marehay powerhouses.
Hartshorne Cup 2-man team final: Ben Monk / Andrew Gratton (Marehay Miners Welfare) 3, Jimmy Gratton / Hannah Jones (Jaxx Q Club Belper) 1.
