Frank Eaves Memorial Trophy - Team KO Competition
The Team KO Final was played on Tuesday 28th May @ Stubshaw Labour Club - 7:30pm start time
Congratulations to Triangle Snooker who completed 'the double' by defeating Bryn Labour in the Team KO Final.
Triangle secured the first two frames, Colin Hitchen winning by 33 points and Mick Holmes by 16 points.
Paul Fairhurst responded well for Bryn and looked to be on the way to a very heave win only for Stuart West to reduce the deficit to 31 points.
Another big win (36 points) for Triangle in frame four meant that Lee Sealey had a 90 point start over Steve Witkiewicz in the final frame.
Steve came back from 99-0 down to just 40 points behind with 35 remaining but Lee potted a good long red and went on to win 134-79.
Thanks again to Mike Wilde for refereeing the games and to Stubshaw Labour for hosting the event.
