Young cueist James Pears took the LBSO sponsored six reds handicap title and the £100 first prize from a diverse field of 35 entrants today.
With a field that contained 4 out of 6 of the leagues lowest handicapped players, 8 promising juniors, and a host of battle hardened league regulars, this was always going to be a tough competition to call.
Highlight of the first round was a "maximum" 75 break for Dan Womersley (recently 're-handicapped down to -50 after his win in the ADT Flexibles competition) in a narrow 3-2 win over Steve Parlour. Elsewhere there were wins for Liam Pullen (down to +10 from +20), Jason Hudson,Dave Millward,Steven Hirst,Andy Dilucia,Tom Oates,Lewis Gillen,James Pears,Stan Moody (down to +20 from +25),Dean Pattison,Shannon Metcalf,Dylan Myers,Mick Calvert,Dave French and Mark Ball.
The round of 16 saw Liam Pullen scrape home 3-2 against Jason Hudson,Steven Hirst beat Dave Millward,Tom Oates overcame Andy Dilucia, and James Pears defeated Lewis Gillen.
In the bottom half Dean Pattison beat youngster Stan Moody,Dan Womersley beat Shannon Metcalf,Dylan Myers lost narrowly 3-2 to Mick Calvert, and Mark Ball overcame Dave French.
In the quarter finals there were comfortable 3-0 wins for Liam Pullen over Steve Hirst ,Mick Calvert over Mark Ball and James Pears over Tom Oates.
The other tie went the distance, 35 start proving just enough for Dean Pattison to edge out Dan Womersley.
The first semi-final saw 2 juniors slugging it out for a place in the final. James Pears taking the first 2 frames before being pegged back,finally winning a nervy decider to go through. The other semi also went the distance, Dean Pattison eventually scraping through against Mick Calvert.
In the final, James(recieving 8 points start) won the first on the black before Dean levelled with the aid of a 24 break. The third went to James after a brilliant pink into the middle pocket from tight on the top cushion. Both players missed chances early in the fourth before a nicely taken 27 break from James effectively gave him frame and match 3-1

The Plate competition along with a £40 consolation prize went to Rowland Roads Joe Moore, who defeated Oliver Hudson,Lewis Harper,Stewart Quinn and lastly Stewart Dobson in the final.

A quick reminder that this years main presentation night is next Wednesday 18th July at Crossgates WMC.

This Sunday's Six Reds handicap at the NSC goes ahead as planned, 10am start, no pre -registration necessary.

There will be a main competition (best of 5) and best of 3 plate competition for first round losers.

Dependant on the number of entries some of the matches in the main competition may be reduced to best of 3 to ensure the competition finishes by 3-3:30.

Gildersome's Michael Gaughan defeated Lee Hart of Crossgates Rec 3-2 to win tonight's Sykes Cup final, to bring the curtain down on this season's finals series.

Conceding 35 points per frame it was Gaughans league experience which was the telling factor in a close fought match.
The flamboyant Hart looked to have secured the first frame when 25 in front with only 22 remaining, but a foul on the brown proved costly as Gaughan coolly cleared the last 4 colours to win 68-66.
It looked to be heading for 1-1 when Hart led the next by 17 points with only pink and black remaining, but a nicely laid snooker gave Gaughan the penalty points he required and soon after he potted pink and then black to make it 2-0 (71-69).

Back came Hart and some fine single ball potting saw him win the next two frames comfortably (23-73, 44-75) to take the match into a decider.

After both players had missed several early chances, Gaughan gradually started to claw back the handicap and by the time they reached the colours it was all square. Gaughan sunk the yellow to take the lead and then in the next visit potted green, brown and a great blue to go 14 points up with 13 left.
A couple of shots later and an easy pink gave him frame and match.

Thanks to Kenny Symons for officiating and to the NSC for use of the match table.

Mon 9th July sees the last match of this season's competitions at the NSC with Michael Gaughan (-3) taking on Lee Hart (+32) , 7:30 start, dress code applies.
