News & Events

Last night saw the finals of the Leeds U16 and U18 competitions.

First up were 15 year old Isa Ishtiaq and 12 year old Riley Fisher battling it out for the U16 title.
It was a nervy start for both players but Riley settled first and led for the majority of the first frame before Isa came back and pinched it on the pink. That seemed to give Isa confidence and an excellent 46 break in the second frame helped him secure the title 2-0 (49-40, 73-20).

Isa was then in action again in the U18 final, this time against current U16 Yorkshire champion Joe Fenton. Isa took the first frame comfortably and looked to be heading for a "double" triumph, but Joe had other ideas and started to show why he is one of the areas brightest prospects. Breaks of 36 and 32 saw Joe take a 2-1 lead and he wrapped the match up in the next to secure his first Leeds U18 title. Frame scores, (Joe first) were 29-62,59-41,68-9,60-34.

Liam Pullen won the junior high break prize with a magnificent 74 break in the qualifying rounds.

Presentations will take place after the Leeds Singles final on Friday 22nd June at the NSC.

Last night at Horsforth Cons, Div F Champions GILDERSOME CONS C defeated Div B Champions BELLE ISLE WMC B, to claim the first competition title of the 2017-18 season.
The '38 point average handicap difference per frame', proved too much on the night for Belle Isle to claw back.
Gildersome first - Up first Stu Matthews (+51) shared his 2 frames with Scott Fell (+24) - 93-84 & 66-99, but Chris Day (+49) was never really threatened by out of sorts Tony Fell (+20), winning both his frames - 96-49 & 90-46.
After a short break, it looked like Belle Isle were making a fight of it, after Josh Marsden (+43) lost his first frame to Steven Hirst (+4) - 52-82.
It still looked good for Belle Isle in the next 2 frames also, until Steve Styles (+14) finally won his frame against Richard Binns (-43) - 93-63, after Richard missed his chance to clear, and then within minutes, Steven Hirst wobbled the final pink, which allowed Josh Marsden to double it, and secure the frame - 77-60 - and the title with a big cheer from his team mates.
Thanks to Mark Ball, Mick Jensen and all at Horsforth Cons for providing a superb playing facility and the very well received interval food.
Thanks also to referees Alex Crum & Bob Patterson for officiating.
