TOP seeds Garry Dodd and Joshua Butler retained their unbeaten record for the season to reach the final of the island championships men's doubles where they will meet third seeds Scott Romeril and Jez Powell.

Dodd and Butler were on top form throughout the evening at the GTTA Centre and dropped just the single leg to Mark Pipet and Phil Hunkin in the quarter-finals.

In the semis they comfortably beat fourth seeds Matt Stubbington and Olly Langlois in straight games.

Romeril and Powell were equally convincing during their run to the final, also dropping just the single leg in the process. The leg in question was dropped against the fifth-seeded Stacey twins, Lawrence and Joshua, in the semi-finals.

The twins had earlier recorded a thrilling six-game win to upset number two seeds Phil Ogier and Adam Langlois in the quarters.
