Current Individual Competition

Records for the league individual competition are known as far back as 1964 when it was won by Jim Doherty. This was the first of 9 finals for Jim. He won 8 of these finals, losing out only to the great Peter Foster in 1969. Jim won the competition 4 times in succession from 1971 to 1974.

Arthur knocked out Peter Foster in a thriller which was described as the best match of the tournament whilst Jim defeated Bill Morgan. Jim went on to beat Arthur 3-0 in the final.
