Vladislav Gradinari is the U19 Champion
Vladislav Gradinari won todays U19 championship without the loss of a frame to repeat his success of two years ago. Wins over Louie Scaife 2(61)-0 and Oscar Harris 2(51)-0 were followed by a semi-final victory over Daniel Boyes 2-0, Daniel having earlier had the day’s highest break of 74.
In the lower half of the draw, it was U16 runner-up Alex Slingsby who came through unscathed with 2-0 wins over Ethan Ross, Jensen Fulton and William Naylor.
Unfortunately for Alex, Vlad was too strong in the final, running out a comfortable 3-0 winner to take the title.
Many Thanks to referees Simon Taylor and Haris Muhammed, and of course, our sponsors, the Northern Snooker Centre.
