The night got underway with defending Scotch doubles champions Marc Thomas and Tom James taking on Bernard Thomas, nine times doubles finalist and grandson Chris Caine.
The latter pair took a 3-2 lead, before the the match was levelled to send it into a last frame decider.
Again this proved a nail-biter, with 79-year-old Bernard Thomas potting the winning black to take his fifth doubles title and beat the defending champions!
The Landlords Cup was another thriller, going to 2-2 and another last frame decider, before Keith May (Three Mariners) potted the final black to beat Paul Jukes (Tenby Bowling Club) 3-2.
The Captains Cup was played next, with Matt Fry (Three Mariners) taking a 2-0 lead, before Rob Day (Wisemans Bridge Inn) levelled it up at 2-2 and then went on to take the next two frames to win the cup for a fourth time!
Next saw the Ladies Shield, with Lois Howlett-Dyer (Wisemans Bridge Inn) winning 3-0 against an in-form Crissi Dean (Hean B).
A new knockout was played in the Tenby League this year, with the Triples Shield final featuring Marc, Tom and Chris (Wisemans Bridge Inn) against Dickie, Edge and Arron (SSSC).
Wisemans Bridge went 2-0 up, with SSSC then levelling at 2-2, but the Wisemans team proved too strong, taking the next three frames to win 5-2.
The one frame play-off for the most consistent player trophy was then played, with Marc Thomas proving too strong on the night, winning the frame to take the trophy with 19 frames out of 23!
The big match, the Team Knockout, then started on two tables, with the Greenhill Hotel initially taking a 2-0 lead over Wisemans Bridge Inn, who then proved too strong by winning the next five frames in a row to take the title!
Attention was then turned to the main final of the night, with all eyes focused on just one brightly-lit table, as Marc Thomas, only 23-years-old, took his second singles title by beating Mark Nally four frames to nil.
