A 12-6 win over local rivals and eventual runners-up Congleton, sees Macclesfield A retain the Cheshire Interleague title. 

Macclesfield’s Shaun Sweetmore won both his frames in the final game of the season to finish runner-up in the merits with 15 wins out of 16. But Simon Knowles of Congleton only needed 1 to secure the overall title which he was able to do.
