MARTYN DESPERQUES is through to the Individual League final after a pulsating match against John Skillett came down to the final frame.

With the pair locked at 3-3 and both missing early opportunities, Desperques rolled in a long red to set up a match-winning 62 break.

Earlier, Skillett had found himself 2-0 down despite having good chances in both frames. Desperques was soon pegged back, though, when his Chirpers teammate comfortably took the third and followed it with a 65 break in the fourth.
