Clayton Coates won his first Island Billiards Championship at the Jersey Mechanics recently.
Clayton’s opponent was Brett Campbell who was making his 3rd final appearance in a row.
Unfortunately during the 2 hour plus match, Clayton struggled with bad leg cramps and at halfway through the second half of the match, needed a 10 minutes stretch to sort out the issue. However, undeterred, he eventually ran out 500 – 392 winner.
President Byron Le Cornu presented the trophy to Clayton and thanks Howard Smith for refereeing and Karl Le Fevre for running the in match scoring.
