ARTHUR Faux and Dave Whalley became the first duo to retain the Knutsford and District Amateur League’s Bert Astles Memorial Pairs Trophy following their victory in the final last week.
The Alderley Union combination celebrated a hard-earned victory over five-time finalists Tony Crompton and Mike Roylance (Mobberley) to take the title at Wilmslow Cons.
They saw off another Mobberley tandem, Paul Adkin and Steve Flanders, in the last four earlier the same evening.
Crompton and Roylance had squeezed past Brook Street’s Andy Long and Bob Jones in their semi-final encounter.
