Here the true IC skill shone through. As Graham-the-kid and Jon "Nutter" McCartney peppered the bullseye, their team took it upon themselves to leave their own marks - on the carpet.

As the display of cool nerve and steady arm continued the IC squad was forced to dig deep against a late comeback but it was too late. The result was inevitable - glory for IC.
