NSC junior academy member 12 years old Stanley Moody finally fulfilled his promise as he took the first prize of £120 and in addition earned himself a visit from the handicappers. A regular in these events Stanley had never previously reached the money stages but a number of close fought victories and several black ball wins finally saw him break his duck.
A magnificent entry of 73 players started out at 9:30, and it was Barnbow regular Shannon Metcalf who set the early pace, defeating Joe Moore, Kamran Mann, Danny Dean and Mark Ball on her way to the quarter final, Ball having previously had a fine win over another NSC academy rising star Liam Pullen.
Meanwhile Stan Moody scraped through his first match 2-1 against Adam Rennison before beating Dean Paterson 2-0 and then another 2-1 tussle against Barnbow's James Pears. James's dad Mark also reached the quarter final stage with wins over Oliver Mulcahy, Paul Turner and Dave Boyes. Last quarter finalist in the top half of the draw was U&L Wortley's Danny Gill, overcoming Craig Smith, Phil Buckle and Daniel Boyes along the way.
In the lower half of the draw Beechwood's Billy Savage beat Wayne Ramsden, Chris Freeman and Ryan Walton on his way to a quarter final place against New Headingley's Sam McElhinney who had despatched Scott Raper ,Andrew Houlker and Tommy Doherty. Raper having the days high break of 97 in his 2-1 defeat.
Belle Isle's Steve Hirst continued his fine form in these events by fighting his way past John Howlett, Steve Quigley and Isa Ishtiaq to reach the last quarter final where he faced another Sunday regular Steve Parlour who overcame Jason Hudson,Gary Barton and Mick Jensen.
In the quarter finals Stanley Moody defeated Shannon Metcalf, Danny Gill beat Mark Pears, Sam McElhinney won through against Billy Savage and Steve Parlour defeated Steve Hirst.
In the first semi final Stanley found himself 22 behind on the brown before an excellent clearance followed by a long pot on the re-spotted black saw him 1-0 up against Danny Gill. The second frame was just as close, Stan finally sinking the pink for a 2-0 win. In the other semi Sam McElhinney came from 1-0 down to beat Steve Parlour 2-1 and reach the final.
True to form the first frame of the final was won on the black by Stanley who then won a close second frame to take the title 2-0.
In the plate, Edmund House's Stephen Broadhead beat Graham Bellwood in the semi before winning first prize by beating Barnbow's John Howlett in the final. John having earlier beaten Richard Binns in his semi.
