Former Northern Ireland international Sloan, who plays for Michelin Masters, won the coveted Premier Division Individual title, beating Minnestoa Eight-Ballers' Ryan Foster 5-4 in a thrilling final.

The Division One decider was no less exciting with Wright (Social Sports) seeing off Alan Rainey (Moat Aces) by the odd frame in seven.
