This season’s MQL finale will be held at Unison in St Helens on Wednesday from 8 pm. The finals of the MQL Plate and the MIMIR Trophy will be held with the highlight the final of the MQL Challenge Cup between two Ormskirk teams, Colly Wobblers, the holders, and Unison. Spectators will be most welcome.

Congratulations to Unison who have won the MQL Feeny Cup. In a very tight group of three, they lost to Oxton Cons (Wirral) 45-48 despite 16 points from Darren Martin. In losing by fewer than four points they picked up a losing bonus point which was to prove crucial. Rainhill Victoria (Liverpool) had already beaten Oxton Cons 60-52, so Unison just needed to beat Rainhill in the final match which they did by 54-47. Charles Johnson scored 18 and Darren Martin another 16.

Abbey Saints lost the final of the MQL Rendon Cup 30-43 against Bookworms (Liverpool).
