Stephen Deakin

Stephen Deakin was a octochamp in Series 14, and a participant in Championship of Champions IV. He was from Wath upon Dearne, South Yorkshire.

However, he was unexpectedly knocked out in the quarter-finals by #7 seed Joel Salkin, losing 57 – 71. Deakin returned for Championship of Champions IV, but lost in the first round to eventual winner Nic Brown.
