The dale snooker ace beat David Dye 4-0 in the Ken Coates Winter knockout trophy at the Teesdale Wanderers Snooker and Billiards Club, in Barnard Castle.
The round robin format saw the draw divided into three sections to cater for all abilities with tiered prize money offered to all finalists.
In the top tier, a tight opening frame between Dye and Blake saw the former leading the charge. But Blake hit back with two 30 breaks to pip his opponent on the black.
With the opening frame under his belt, Blake chalked up the next three with relative ease – taking the £30 top break prize with 41 and £75 for taking home the trophy.
Section B saw Peter Normanton lose out to Colling Morris while husband and wife Sue and Adam Staley were pitted against one another in Section C.
Mr Staley claimed the bragging rights with a 2-1 win.
Former clubman Ken Coates sponsors events and offers prize money from his home in Australia.
Fifteen players took part and organiser Peter Normanton was pleased with how the day had gone.
He said: “Our membership is gradually increasing all the time and the club is being used a lot – we can tell by the money in the meters.
“There will be more competitions coming soon.”
A six red tournament is in the pipeline at the Birch Road club as well as another competition in memory of former member Cyril Young.
“Competitions are open to players of all ability so they need not be put off,” added Mr Normanton.
