APA Senior/Junior B-Grade9-Ball

Anne — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 02:22:55 +0000

Held at the ACBS Clubrooms : 03 December 2011

Report by Malcolm Beehre : Disappointingly, only 12 players entered this tournament and I think it was probably because many players did not realise they were eligible. The only condition of entry of this event is that a player must have never won a ranking event. Also there was once again a clash of dates with a Valley Pool event. However, all entrants had a good day with fairly long matches.

Quarter-finals : D Breen bt L Zi 7/4, R Alfonso bt C Cao 7/4, M Tomita bt K Cullen 7/6, A Arlidge bt A Singh 7/3.
Semi-finals : R Alfonso bt D Breen 7/2, A Arlidge bt M Tomita 7/2.
Final : A Arlidge bt R Alfonso 7/5.

ABSA/Manurewa/BNZ 3000 Open Snooker

Anne — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 21:23:06 +0000

Held at the Manurewa Cosi Club : 15-16 October 2011

Report by Malcolm Beehre : The field for this event was affected by a clash of dates with the Northern Area 8-Ball Singles which was also held at the Manurewa CC. As the BNZ tournament is on the same weekend each year it can only mean that for some reason or other, the Northern Area organisers changed their date without taking into consideration other cue-sport events in the same area.

Section play was of a very high standard with five of the six sections having four winners led by Steve Robertson on a +8 and Sanjay Kumar, Tony van Wijk, Vanny Ry and Dale Kwok all on a +7. The other 11 qualifiers for Post-seciton play in order of performance were Matthew Scarborough, Clive Thomson, Pierre Lyndon, Paul Bason, Roy Clark, Bruce Davies, Eldon Lai, Steve Thomas, Bobby Singh, Deepak Bala and Arthur Webber.

The Quarter-final on Sunday saw Robertson beating Bason 3/2. Robertson had a 107 clearance in the first frame; Bason won the next two, so Robertson had to win the next two frames to stay in the tournament. Kwok beat van Wijk 3/1, Scarborough beat Kumar 3/2 and Thomson beat Bala 3/2.

In the Semi-finals Robertson beat Kwok 3/1 and Scarborough beat Thomson 3/1. The Final between Robertson and Scarborough was over 3/0 in 45 minutes with Scarborough winning a scrappy first frame and then having a 79 break in the second frame and breaks of 43 and 32 in the third frame.

The Flyte winner was Lai over Davies 2/0 and the Plate was won 2/1 by Sani Roberts over Vinny Gounder.

Last Sixteen : S Robertson bt P Webber 3/0, P Bason bt P Lyndon 3/1, D Kwok bt E Lai 3/1, T Van Wijk bt S Thomas 3/1, S Kumar bt B Singh 3/1, M Scarborough bt B Davies 3/1, C Thomson bt R Clark 3/1, D Bala bt V Ry 3/1.

Quarter-finals : S Robertson bt P Bason 3/2, Kwok bt T Van Wijk 3/1, M Scarborough bt S Kumar 3/2, C Thomson bt D Bala 3/2.

Semi-finals : S Robertson bt D Kwok 3/1, M Scarborough bt C Thomson 3/1.

Final : M Scarborough bt S Robertson 3/0.

Highest Break : S Robertson (107).
