James Pears defeated Connor O'Carroll 229-197 in todays Stan Brooke Singles final.
In a match played in tremendous spirit it was Connor who settled first. Receiving 20 points per frame he raced into a 50 point lead with some lovely individual pots, but James fought back and when Connor sank the final Black he had won the first frame by just 15 points.
In the second frame it was James's turn to settle into the match and he ended up winning it by 42 points to give himself a 27 point lead going into the final frame.
As you would expect the third frame was a close, tense affair with both players palying some excellent safety shots.
With one red left James had a slight lead, which coupled with his 27 point advantage meant Connor needed all the balls to win. He took the last red and a black to give himself a chance on the colours, but James used all his experience to keep the frame tight, and when he potted the brown Connor needed a snooker. Finally a much relieved James potted the blue and a few shots later added the pink to seal a hard fought victory. It was a terrific final with a great atmosphere helped by the large Harehills Liberal contingent who had shown up in force to support Connor.

So congratulations to James and thanks as usual to the NSC for use of the match table and especially to referee Andy Kitson who again had stepped in at short notice.

Richard Binns defeated NSC's Isa Ishtiaq 4-2 in last nights Len Lee Invitation final.

A run of 30 helped Binns take the first frame before Ishtiaq hit back with a nicely crafted 56 break to level at 1-1. Binns took the next (36 break) and looked to be going 3-1 up before missing a simple black which would have left his opponent needing a snooker on the colours. A couple of shots later Ishtiaq fluked the yellow and cleared the colours to draw level again at 2-2. Unpeturbed Binns took the next (47 break) and despite Ishtiaq having a run of 38 in the sixth frame, Binns wrapped up the match 4-2 to keep the title he has now won three times in a row.

Binns is in action again on Friday in the Leeds Snooker singles final.

Many thanks to the NSC and to Ken Symons for officiating.

Gildersome Cons defeated Northern Snooker Centre 5-3 in last nights C of C final.

NSC actually took a 2-0 lead, Gordon Lam (3) beating Paul Bedford (41) and Adam Tollerfield (4) defeating Stuart Gill (43).
The Gildersome duo fought back however and at the break it was level at 2-2.
The match then went to 3-3, NSC'S Dave Boyes (-3) beat Chris Zavros (9), but on the other table son Daniel (1) lost to Gildersome's Ben Keedy (40).
So going into the final 2 frames the match was there for the taking, and it was the Gildersome players who stepped up, taking both games to seal a 5-3 victory.

Many thanks to Belle Isle for hosting the event and to Ken Symons and Natalia Gradinari for officiating.

Main Line Social overcame a resilient Upper & Lower Wortley team to lift the 3 Man KO 4-1 last night.

A pretty tight affair through out with both No3's an No2 players sharing the first two frames, both frames on pinks respectively.

Lee Atkinson of Main Line then increased to lead to 2-1 and with Danny Newton also winning meant a 3-1 lead going into the final two frames.

It was looking like Gary Popple of Upper & Lower Wortley was going to reduce the deficit, but on the other table Atkinson was in fine form, producing a couple of mini 16 breaks and then a 42 break meant the frame and match was over regardless of the other tables result which was then abandoned.

Thanks to Farsley for hosting and providing excellent playing facilities.

Thanks also to guest referees Mark King and Mark Ball for officiating at the highest level.

The final of the 3 man KO between Main Line Social A and Upper & Lower Wortley Liberal Club B will take place on Monday 4th July at Farsley Cons.
