Two players tasted their first event wins of the Foundation Tour on the penultimate day of action, with Lewis Mayes and Joseph Flenley winning the Event 17 & 18 titles in Coventry.

With Mitchell Lawrie and Jack Howarth winning 11 of the first 16 events between them, opportunities for other players to taste victory have been few and far between of late. 

But England’s Mayes and Flenley of Wales mixed things up as the final weekend of action got off to a fascinating start.

With Advanced Tour spots for 2025 – as well as World Championship places for Gibraltar later this year – up for grabs, there is plenty on the line this weekend.

MITCHELL Lawrie is the 2024 Foundation Tour champion after winning a record-breaking seventh event of the season – while Jack Howarth signed off with a sixth event win of the tour.

Lawrie, the 13-year-old Scot, beat Jack Nankervis’ 2023 haul of six titles when he won the Event 19 title on Sunday afternoon, guaranteeing the overall title in the process.

Then, in a fitting final match of the tour season, Lawrie faced Howarth – his closest rival throughout the campaign – with the 17-year-old Englishman winning 5-1 to cap an excellent season for him personally.

Between them, Lawrie and Howarth won 13 of the 20 events – so the two of them contesting another final was an apt way for the Foundation Tour to conclude.
