This was the last Snooker tournament to be held in Auckland this year. A very strong field of 40 players, including 11-year-old Leonard Toh. The last time we had a player this young playing in a ranking tournament was probably when Dene O’Kane played in the Auckland A-Grade in the late 1970′s.
Held 21-23 November 2008
