He booked his spot in September’s two-day final after topping the scales at last Wednesday’s qualifier with a haul of almost 1212lb, well clear of runner-up Andy Searle.

Having won the previous week’s Sunday Open with a personal best of 160lb, Arme went close to that total in winning the match for the second weekend running.
