TOP two seeds Martin Sarre and Phil Hunkin will face each other in the final of the annual island championships veterans singles after they both successfully navigated their way through the draw.
Sarre came through as a 4-0 winner over the tournament's eighth seed, Maurice James, in the quarter-finals, but was made to work hard in his semi-final against GTTA president and sixth seed Derek Webb.
