The Under 18s produced another classic as local lads Steven McGurn and Carl Martin went head to head in the Final. Martin had already seen off the challenge from the 2012 Winner Declan Duff and a great final was anticipated. They didn't let us down and once again we had a final frame decider. Martin was early favourite but slowly but surely McGurn turned it round and when he got his chance he finished with style to become 2013 NI Under 18 Champion.
