The Whitburn masters finals day was held on the 7th November in Coppies, Armadale. The 4 players that were through to the finals day were, the whitburn player ot the year Jim Wilson, The Cowboy Stevie Moir, The Chemist Alan Kerr and the rank outsider (according to the odds) Ian Quigley. The semi final draw was carried out by Garry Brown, which saw Jim Wilson facing off against Stevie Moir on table 1 and Alan Kerr facing off against Ian Quigley. First to book his spot in the final was Jim Wilson with a comprhensive 9-4 victory over the Cowboy. His opponent in the final would be The rank outside Ian Quigley who beat The Chemist in a marathon match, coming from 8-5 down, to win 9-8. The final kicked off around 8pm. Jim Wilson started steady and went into a quick 2-0 lead only for Ian to fight back to take a 5-2 lead then a 6-4 lead. The break seemed to come at a bad time for Ian, who was gathering up quite a momentum, as he didnt win another frame after that and Jim went on to take the final 10-6!!!!!
