Winner Papatoetoe/ABSA Invitation Snooker Singles

Held at the ACBS Clubrooms : 22-23 November 2008

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.
