He started his evening in the singles semi-finals, winning 2-0 against Duggie McInerney from the Tigers Club. The other semi saw Luke Rhodes (Ship Albion) beat Darren Royal (Green Dragon) 2-1.
Williams and Royal then went on to win their pairs semi-final 2-1 against Duncan Hunt and Chris Fidler (NSH), setting up a final against Mark Horspool and Kev Aldhous (NSH), who beat Dale Crawford and Jake Merrill (Lincoln Arms D).
Next up for Williams was the Captain’s Cup final – where again he was triumphant, winning 2-0 against Steve Stancer (Lincoln Arms A).
Meanwhile, the ladies’ final saw Samantha Williams (no relation to Scott) emerge as a 2-0 winner against Lindsey Wingell.
The Mixed Pairs final saw Scott Williams team up with his wife Ellie to take on Duggie McInerney and Sharon Barnard (Tigers Club).
