The knockout stage of the tournament delivered a series of tightly contested matches, notable performances, and a final that showcased two of the event’s most consistent players. All rounds leading up to the final were played as best-of-three legs, with the championship match determined in a best-of-five format.
Early Rounds[edit | edit source]
The Second Round opened with Alex Brackstone reaffirming his top seeding by defeating Bill K 2–1 in a controlled performance that set the tone for his early campaign. On the same side of the draw, Adam C secured a 2–1 victory over Sharon L, booking a quarter-final clash with Brackstone.
In the lower half of the top section, David G began what would become one of the most impressive runs of the entire event. He overcame Lucas Brow 2–1 in a competitive match, while Paul Linke advanced with a 2–1 win over Alex Brow. This set up a meeting between David and Linke in the quarter-finals.
The bottom half of the draw saw Ben F defeat Tim B 2–1, and Sean S progress with a 2–1 victory over Ash J. Meanwhile, Noah H started his campaign with a composed 2–1 win against Gary T, and Jed N advanced past Sara M (score not recorded).
Quarter-finals[edit | edit source]
The quarter-final round produced several key turning points in the tournament. Alex Brackstone continued his strong form, overcoming Adam C 2–1 to reach the semi-finals. Brackstone’s scoring consistency and finishing accuracy were crucial in closing out the match.
The clash between David G and Paul Linke proved to be one of the most competitive fixtures of the afternoon. Both players traded legs with little separating them, but David ultimately prevailed 2–1, extending his streak of narrow but composed victories.
In the lower half, Sean S delivered one of his best performances of the event by defeating Ben F 2–1. Sean’s improved tempo and timely checkouts allowed him to counter Ben’s early momentum.
On the opposite board, Noah H recorded a confident 2–1 win over Jed N to secure his place in the final four. Noah’s clean finishing and steady scoring made him one of the most efficient players in the field.
Semi-finals[edit | edit source]
Both semi-final matches demonstrated the importance of pressure handling as the stakes increased.
The top semi-final saw David G and Alex Brackstone meet in what many considered a marquee fixture. Brackstone, who had been reliable throughout the earlier rounds, could not match David’s sustained composure in crucial moments. David completed another 2–1 victory, securing his place in the final with yet another narrow but deserved result.
In the second semi-final, Noah H faced Sean S in a tightly contested match. Sean pushed hard after his strong quarter-final performance, but Noah’s consistency across scoring visits and his stability on doubles allowed him to edge out a 2–1 win and advance to the final.
Final[edit | edit source]
The championship match featured David G and Noah H, both of whom had demonstrated exceptional consistency throughout the tournament. Played as a best-of-five legs contest, the final showcased sustained quality from both finalists.
The match unfolded as a back-and-forth encounter, with each player answering the other’s pressure moments. David’s steady rhythm, which had carried him through multiple 2–1 victories earlier in the draw, remained present. However, Noah elevated his scoring and finishing to another level in the decisive legs. Despite David’s resistance, Noah secured the title with a 3–2 victory, completing a strong and composed performance to close out the tournament.
