he said: “It is a great feeling, I really feel like I have just nicked the game as Nick completely outplayed me.

“But I never gave in and I am thrilled to be in the final for the first time. I think my family will be very proud.”

Brett said: “About halfway through the second set Simon. changed the jack length and I just lost the pace.

“Then the momentum was with him. I am disappointed to finish like that but fair play to Simon, he hung in there and did enough at the end.”

Skelton faces Stewart Anderson who defeated Les Gillett earlier today in straight sets.
