Chris Kelly of Thongsbridge BC is the 2022 BCGBA Champion of Champions winner after yesterday's All-Yorkshire Final held at Monks Sports at Warrington. Chris was a 16/1 shout for the title before start of play as was his Final opponent, James Wilcox of Crossgates, and they served up a tense Final with a 21-20 scoreline completing the full day of action.


Two other Yorkshire qualifiers, Jack Dyson and Ian Booth, both progressed through the first round but then faltered at the next stage with Jack going out against his Thongsbridge teammate and eventual Champion 12-21.


The 7/2 favourite Greg Smith lost in the Quarter-Finals and 4/1 2nd favourite Callum Wraight fell at the first round when 5 of the 16 first round ties went to 21-20 with no more such scorelines until the Final.
