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.


Competition Update - Three Man Team KO

The Final was played on Wednesday 29th May @ Newton Social - 8pm start

Congratulations to Paul Hickey, Mark Twist and Paul Cunliffe on becoming Three Man Team Champions!

The first frame was nip and tuck but Paul Hickey potted the pink and black to beat Joe Witkiewicz by 8 points.

Frame two was a long one (about 80 minutes!), the match was effectively over as Paul Cunliffe won by 38 points, despite
Richard Jones having 31 start!

As a result, Steve Witkiewicz had to give Mark Twist 46 start in the final frame. Mark is tough enough to beat off level and
won the match fairly comfortably in the end.

Well done to the winners, thanks also to Tony Kelly for refereeing the match and to Newton Social for hosting the final.
