Sunday singles snooker saw 29 players enter the draw.

Dianne Spring, Alan Messiter and Noel Mason played well for two wins each.

Richard Kelly, after three very easy wins 52-12, 61-34 and 63-5, was then in turn demolished by Ray Salisbury 32-12 in the first semi-final.

Barry Archer and Bill Dawes played the second semi-final with Bill one of the most experienced players in the club and Barry one of the least experienced.

The score 80-36 in Bill’s favour only told part of the story. During the game Bill took time to show Barry some shots and angles, well done Bill. And well played Barry Archer on the three wins before running to Bill.

The decider saw both Ray Salisbury and Bill Dawes playing some of their best snooker on the day.

After receiving a 15-point start and then making a 15 break, Ray proved too hard to run down and went on to win the Sunday singles title 65-46.

Congratulations Ray Salisbury and well played Bill Dawes.
