Finch replied with 3 straight points, before Corcoran secured the game 11-9. A very messy 2nd game ensued with lots of lets, with the players reaching 8-8 before Finch secured the game 11-8 to level the match. In the early part of the 3rd game Corcoran looked the stronger and quicker and raced to a 6-2 lead. Finch dug in and took 5 of the next 8 points. Corcoran edged the next point to serve at 10-7 for a 2-1 lead. Once again Finch offered stubborn resistance and clawed back to 10-10... 11 – 10 game ball to Corcoran; Finch replied once again with 2 points 12-11 to reach game ball. Corcoran levelled it 12-12’ again Finch came back to lead 13-12.

As the pressure intensified, both players gave away a series of lets, but Corcoran held his nerve to take 15-13 and a 2-1 lead. Finch was quicker out of the blocks in the next game and took a 2-0 lead. With the aid of a stroke, Corcoran pulled back to 2-2. Finch now looked the fresher and won the next 4 points. A series of good rallies took Finch to a 9-4 lead. Corcoran worked hard for the next, but with another stroke Finch served at 10 5 looking to win the game and level the match but Corcoran had other ideas and saved game ball and took the next point.

Finch kept his composure in the next rally and won the game to level. Now looking stronger and fresher a dominant Finch raced to a 10 -2 lead and the match looked as good as won. Corcoran wouldn’t yield and saved 3 match balls. He then went for a back hand drop on the left, but just clipped the tin and a delighted Finch was now British Champion

Top British Juniors in Manchester

Manchester will once again play host to the Tecnifibre British Junior Championships, the first major junior event of the season, from the 1st November [yes, the same time as the Men's Worlds at Manchester Central!].

We will see the best junior players from the UK come together to fight for the chance to become National Champion. This event has become most prestigious since its inception, and is now celebrated as the largest domestic junior tournament on the circuit.

In the Boys Under 19 category, Richie Fallows (Essex) comes in as top seed, he will be aiming to claim the Don Sanderson Trophy with his last attempt before he moves out of the juniors. Ready to stand in the way of Fallows reaching the trophy is number two seed Angus Gillams (Hertfordshire) who reached the semi finals at last year’s Championships.

Lying in wait for a chance at the title are 3/4 seeds Lyell Fuller (Devon) and Ashley Davies (Derbyshire).

In the Girls Under 19 category top seed Anna Kimberley (Essex) who came third in the 2013 English Junior Championships is fighting for her first national title. Ready to challenge Kimberley for the crown is second seed and runner up of the English Junior Championships Nada El Kalaawy (Surrey). Hoping to cause an upset will be current Girls U17 English Junior Champion Lily Taylor (Leicestershire) and Katrina Burrows (Merseyside) who occupy the 3/4 seeded positions.

In the Boys Under 17 category, number one seed James Peach (Yorkshire) will be fighting to get his first National title, whereas the number two seed Patrick Rooney (Merseyside) will be hoping to complete a season double as he is reigning English Junior Champion.

The Girls U17 competition looks to be an epic battle between county compatriots, defending champion and top seed Georgina Kennedy (Kent), and 2012 U15 Junior Champion, number two seed Amelia Henley (Kent).

The Boys Under 15s will see top seeds Kyle Finch (Hampshire) and Curtis Malik (Sussex) reignite their battle for a national title, Malik took the U13 title when they faced off in the final two years ago and Finch will be hoping history doesn’t repeat itself.

In the Girls Under 15 category, top two seeds Jasmine Hutton (Sussex) and Lucy Turmel (Suffolk) will have their work cut out for them, with 3/4 seed, and last year’s Girls U13 British junior champion Elise Lazarus (Essex) looking to steal the crown.

If the top seeds have their way we may see a repeat of the Boys U13 English Junior Championships final and see top seed Jared Carter (Hampshire) take on English U11 Champion Sam Todd (Yorkshire).

For the Girls U13s the top seeds Eve Coxon (Oxfordshire) and Kiera Marshall (Worcestershire) will both be aiming to claim their first National Title.
