SAM Jackson has become only the ninth player in Knutsford and District League history to have his name etched on the Jay Trophy and Rotary Cup in the same season.

A run of 49 in the second frame was a highlight of the Mere man's semi-final success against Paul Townsend (Tatton) before he saw off Scott Marshall - who had ended the run of Shaw Heath teammate Jamie Way - in the final at Mobberley.
