Congratulations to both Adrian and Heie on their performances and continually high standard of snooker.
The Bob Organ B Grade championship qualifying rounds were contested on Monday, November 11 with semi-finals and the ultimate best of three frame playoff being completed on Tuesday 12 November.
Jack Bassett had a nail biting “black ball in the deciding frame” victory over Luca Macheda to earn his way to that match, where he took on recently joined member Craig Jordan, who won his semi-final over Nev Page by the same margin.
The final did not disappoint and resulted in another thrilling finish where Jack claimed his first title by potting the pink ball in the third and deciding frame.
Congratulations to both Jack and Craig on their performances in an event full of great matches with close finishes.
