Moorlands & Railway C were crowned Spec & Fix Premier League champions despite a narrow 4–3 defeat to Newark Belvedere.

Matt was in excellent form, taking his first frame 73–16 before compiling a fine break of 43 in a dominant 75–18 victory in the second. Adam, returning after over a month away, secured the win for Newark with a 66–36 success over Gav. The pair met again in the final frame, where Gav claimed a consolation 55–26 win. Meanwhile, Lincoln Snooker Club B secured third place with a 5–2 victory over Lincoln Snooker Club C. However, they were forced to concede two points due to being unable to field a full team. Calum continued his impressive season with two wins, edging a high-scoring opener 97–70 against Brian before defeating Jim 72–42. Chris also enjoyed a standout night, completing a hat-trick of wins. He beat Nick 64–25, followed it up with a 64–20 win over Brian, and finished strongly with a 62–39 victory against Jim.
