Vladislav Takes U19s Title

Vladislav Gradinari added the Yorkshire U19 title to his English and European U16 titles with a 3-0 victory over Jake Crofts in today’s final at the Northern Snooker Centre.

Wins over Jonny Collier and Oscar Harris were followed by a narrow semi-final victory over recent English Under 18’s champion Daniel Boyes. Gradinari had a break of 68 in the deciding frame of this match and also added the day’s high break of 96.

In the other half of the draw, Crofts had wins over Thomas Burton, Harvey Hatton and James Pears in reaching the final without dropping a frame.

Thanks to Andy Kitson for officiating and of course to our sponsors the Northern Snooker Centre.
