EVESHAM’S Carl Saidler moved to the top of the Worcestershire rankings with victory in the latest one-day county tournament.

The 2013 county champion beat fellow Vale cueman Dean Powell 3-2 in the final at Pockets, Kidderminster, to move to the summit with two of four events played.

Ten players entered with Saidler defeating Kidderminster’s Taylor Fish and Stratford’s Tony Baylis 3-1 to reach the final.

Powell got the better of Evesham’s Joe Cockerton and Andrew Barklam, of Hodge Hill, 3-0 to secure his place.

In the final, Powell led 2-1 and had opportunities in the next frame to claim a notable scalp.

But Saidler eventually eased level before a brace of 30 breaks in the decider saw him prevail.

Cockerton won the Plate final with a 2-0 victory over Fish.
