More highlights.....................................
*Thirteen year old Joe Reynolds had a right good christmas cracker of a match against a out of sorts Harry Farrell on the day! eventually Reynolds won the match 3-1 as he allmost made an 80 clearance sadly to the black glued to the rail, which the break ended on 73.

Sean Croft made to two good frame winning breaks one of 37 and 31 angainst Harry Farrell who came at Croft with a 31 and 30 break! Croft lost the match on the black in the end along with 5-6 other black ball games on the day. 

It was a cracking Final with Danny Rhodes and Joe Reynolds with Danny making the most of things with a well taken 29 break, young Joe with a good display of 20 breaks, taking home with him experiance, more confidence, a trohpy, £30 cash prize & a bottle of wisky and a leather wisky flask gift set, which will make a great present, im sure his mother or grandad will love because Joe's dad does'nt drink.

Danny Rhodes has won £20 runner-up cash prize, a free days snooker, and im sure a great days match practice.

Thankyou, you wonderful bunch for making a great day happen i wish you the very best for christmas and for the new year. x

Cheers all Sean Croft.
