2007 APA Senior B-Grade 8-Ball
March 12th, 2007
This was a very evenly matched field with a lot of close games in Section Play. Both the junior players in the field qualified for post-section play. Junior player, Jason Mitchell, playing in his first senior event, qualified fourth in his section on a count back with Rod Mitchell. Jason then drew Marvin Padrigo who proved too strong for him.
The semi-finals both went the full seven frames. Good to see Gino Demeer back playing in a tournament after a lengthy break, which probably accounted for his misdemeanour in his semi-final match and could have cost him a spot in the final. After playing an extremely good snooker on Carlos Zaragoza, with each player having one remaining ball each, and Carlos not getting out of the snooker, Gino proceeded to pot Carlos’ last ball by mistake, leaving Carlos with ball in hand on the black.
Marvin Padrigo proved too strong in the final, defeating Carlos Zaragoza 4/2.
