Sergio Scarpetta (Italy) seems determined to win the right to challenge title holder Ron King (Barbados) like he did in 2012 when Ron held his title, when both played an excited match that ended in a dead heat 12-12.

Here is the game that Sergio Scarpetta took from the 2nd placed Barbadian Jack Francis who earlier this year ended Ron Kings reigns as National Champion by beating him in the final.
This time Jack lost a men, but managed to hold a few men of his opponent backwards with the prospect of a majority of kings, when he was struk by a stroke that instantly killed him….
