Lanarkshire's Danish star Steen Eriksen claimed Ironopolis X with an excellent all-round display in another thrilling event at the Dock Yard.
Eriksen and Aberavon’s Russian ace Denis Gomozov – who is on loan at Teesside and loves the Dock Yard – lead the qualifiers into the final.
It was a tight battle to get through with holder Hans Benkarth, Jack Hagen, Hans E Bergestol, Filippe Chong and Jens Isaksen all making it through, with exciting Polish teenager Janusz Pala only just missing out on his British debut.
After a run off Bergestol and Chong held off home favourites Hagen and Benkarth.
