However, things did not go according to plan for Wells as Mossford won the opening doubles 42-36. Wins for Adrian Joseph over John Hume and Shahid Khan over Lee Marson enabled Wells to reduce the deficit by 23 points.
Then came the key game as Mossford's Hitesh Magudia beat Kevin Carby by 10 points. Had Carby gained 10 more points, the final score would have been different.
He made amends with his 44-30 defeat of Marson, but it was not enough to save Wells from an eight-point reverse (482-474).
