Lawrenson and Appleton take Challenge and Pro
Matches came to an end late on Sunday evening in everyone's favourite pool venue in the UK, as the GB 9 Ball Tour wound down it's second event of the 2011 season at the excellent Barceló Hotel in Daventry for the third annual Paul Medati Trophy there were just men playing for the main event title.
Previously, on day two, youngster Matthew Lawrenson scooped the Challenge Cup with a strong 9-5 win over Mark Lunn, while Yorkshire's Darren Appleton took the Pro Cup with a quite emphatic 9-2 victory over London's Imran Majid.

Yorkshireman Chris Melling, hot on the heels of a splendid $40,000 victory at the China 9 Ball Open was facing the player with the most impressive record on the GB9 tour - London's Imran Majid, and true to form, the match couldn't have been a closer, more nail-biting affair as both players matched each other, virtually rack-for-rack all the way to a thrilling 11-10 victory, earning the title GB9 Paul Medati Trophy champion for Yorkshire's Chris Melling.
