SNOOKER & BILLIARD REPORT – WEEK ENDING 25TH SEPTEMBER 2020

SNOOKER REPORT TUESDAY 22ND SEPTEMBER 2020

PRINCESS GARDEN snooker handicap league.

Congratulations to St Aubin Warriors for winning the snooker team handicap league.
Last match of the season St Aubin had a 4 point lead, needing to win just four frames at best to make sure of the title and at worst to avoid a heavy defeat and hope their closest rivals Services did not win their match by a big margin
St Aubin didn’t start too well, playing against Vinchelez they lost the first three frames.
Byron Le Cornu started the recovery by winning his second against Fran Savarese to make it 1-3. Next was Aaron Canavan playing against Stuart Simon, Aaron was giving 84 start in each frame and was made to work hard but eventually did manage to win his two frames to make 3-3, at this time a quick check was made to see how the other the teams were doing and learnt that Services were also drawing 3-3 so the title was safe.
Services Short Cue Wonders finishing as runners up.
All of this weeks results finishing 5-3 or 4-4
Later in the year than normal, but like all other sports, delays occurred due to Covid 19.
The snooker and billiards league should have finished in April and by now the new season would have already started.
The new season is now expected to start from Monday the 19th October.

Aaron was giving the maximum 84 start in each frame, giving such a start is always difficult to play catch up.
