Ireland's Madeline Perry twice came from behind to claim her first WISPA Tour title in an enthralling 83-minute final of the Women's Proctor Memorial in North Shields, England.
Perry's second-seeded opponent Senga Macfie, who won her semi-final 27-0, cruised through the first game, but made many errors in the second - "inconsistent is an understatement" was the Scot's on-court comment.
After top seed Perry levelled the match, Macfie recovered her composure to take the third 10-8, but squandered three match balls in losing the fourth 9-8. Perry, the 25-year-old Irish champion from Banbridge, went on to clinch the match 4-9 9-3 8-10 9-8 9-5.
"I'm really pleased to win my first WISPA title," said the delighted Perry. "I knew it would be hard against Senga, but I thought 'just hang in there', and it eventually paid off!"
