Vladislav Gradinari is U19 Champion

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.

Johnny Collier is the Yorkshire U16 Champion

Johnny Collier is the Yorkshire U16 Champion.

Barnsley’s 13-year-old Johnny Collier took this season’s Yorkshire U16 title,e defeating 11-year-old Alex Slingsby 2-0 in a nervy final. Both players struggled with the table and the occasion, but Collier, who had beaten Oscar Harris and Ethan Ross on his way to the final, proved just too strong for his opponent. Slingsby had seen off William Naylor and Louis Scaife in the earlier rounds. I am sure we’ll be seeing a lot more of both finalists at the business end of future Junior competitions.

Thanks to our sponsors, the Northern Snooker Centre and a special mention to trainee referees Alan Rayner and Simon Taylor, who officiated superbly throughout the day.
