Playing for the richest prize in snooker so far at £45,000 first prize, Cliff Thorburn who had knocked out World no 1 Steve Davis in the previous evening's semi final faced his friend Dennis Taylor. Thorburn had played very well coming from 6-3 down to beat Davis 9-7 whilst Taylor had been in inspired form all week. He almost pulled out of the tournament after the sudden death of his mother but decided to take part. Presented by David Vine
