Imran Majid puts another notch on his cue, this time at Bristol.
Majid and Massey in final at Yate
34 runners made the trip to Bristol this weekend, and they were duly rewarded with a plethora of pool - divided into eight groups (six groups of four players and two groups of five players) they were set to task with best of 9 racks for victory.
A grand total of £850 in prize money was available, and after a splendid buffet play resumed with a single knock out format from the last 16 onwards.
London's Imran Majid took top honours and the £340 first prize after beating Damian Massey in the race-to-nine final, with a score of 9-5. Damian took £170 for second place, and semi-finalists Chris Buckmaster and Lloyd Matining took £85 each whilst the quarter-finalists were rewarded with £42.50 a-piece.
Many thanks to Lee Hersey for running the event and providing the results, to the management and staff of Rileys Yate for their sterling efforts and, by all accounts, a wonderful buffet, and finally to Simon Clarke who stepped up at the last minute to take these fantastic photos.
