Pre-match favourite Adam Rennison of Harehills Labour fought off a resilient Brian Hussey of Dennison Hall to win the Sykes Cup…

First frame – Brian receiving a 16pt handicap start by Adam started brightly with some excellent opening scoring opportunities to pull away early on. Adam responded well with an excellent 22 break, followed by more scoring and despite a couple of missed snooker attempts, Adam took the colours and the first frame 0 – 1

Second frame – Adam started well, opening with a 16 break, then 14 break and series of other little breaks meant Brian lost this frame with ease 0 – 2

Third frame – Again, it was Adam in the balls first with an early 16 break to immediately reduce the handicap deficit, but back came Brian and a flurry of pots albeit low scoring, this continued throughout the frame to reduce the lead to 1 – 2

Fourth frame – Once again it was Adam with the sustained attacking shots which proved to be the real difference, scoring at almost every opportunity with 14, 16 and 22 breaks respectively to win the frame comfortably, more importantly the title of Sykes Cup winner 1 – 3

Thanks to NSC for providing an excellent playing facility. Thanks also to Alex Crum for officiating

Gavin Godfree and Vince Roy of the NSC defeated Stephen Hirst and Dean Pattison of Belle Isle 3-2 to take the Len Lee Pairs title.
A 22 clearance from Godfree gave them the first frame 68-67, and after failing behind in the second they fought back to win 73-43 and take a 2-0 lead. Back came the Belle Isle pair and a 27 break from Hirst gave them the third frame 71-43 followed by a 89-53 win in the fourth to make it 2-2.
The scene was set for a tense fifth frame but it was an anti-climax as the Belle Isle duo could muster a mere 4 points in the decider as they went down 67-9 giving the title to the NSC cueists.

Thanks to Michael Davenport for officiating and to the NSC for use of the match table.

Today saw 18 of LBSO's finest line up in the latest one day competition at the NSC.
In the top half of the draw, recent English under 14 runner up Liam Pullen made the early running with victories over Lee Dickinson and Mick Jensen before an 81 break (which would prove to be the highest of the day) helped him to a win over Stephen Broadhead and a place in the semi-final. Ryan Walton beat Lee Atkinson and youngster Daniel Boyes in reaching the semi before winning two close frames against Pullen to reach the final.
In the lower half English under 14 Champion Stanley Moody had wins over Malcolm Timblin and Tommy Doherty before eventually losing to Lewis Gillen in the semi-final, Gillen having earlier seen off Mark Ball and Isa Ishtiaq.
Gillen won the first frame of the final and went 40 points in front in the second before Walton fought back to level the match on the black. The decider could have gone either way but it was Walton who eventually potted yellow to blue to leave his opponent needing a snooker and effectively seal the match.
The Plate competition was won by Lee Dickinson who defeated Gavin Godfree in the final.
