The final of the 2023 GC Singles Championship was held on 27 August at Belsay between Phil Errington (Belsay Hall) and William Steadman (Auckland).

There were around a dozen spectators enjoying the play whilst (like the players) getting somewhat damp due to the frequent heavy rain showers. To make matters worst, a major (jousting!) event organised by English Heritage was also taking place at Belsay Hall, putting pressure on car parking spaces.
William won the first of the best-of-three 19-point games 10-5, and while the second game went to the golden hoop, William again triumphed to win it 10-9, and so became the 2023 Champion.
