Peter Lines is this season’s “Alex Crum” Yorkshire Masters Champion

Peter Lines is this season’s “Alex Crum” Yorkshire Masters Champion.

Peter Lines defeated Shaun Wilkes 3-1 in yesterday’s “Alex Crum” Yorkshire Masters final.

Lines started the day in fine form, breaks of 81 and 89, giving him a comfortable 3-0 1st round win over Chris Walker. He then had to sit and wait for his next opponent as Gary Addison-Doy came back from 2-0 and 50 points down to defeat Lionel Payne 3-2 in a match which took 10 minutes short of 4 hours! Addison-Doy was then despatched 3-1 followed by a 3-0 victory over Dave Allender.

Previous Masters winner Craig Butler was Lines’ semi-final opponent and it turned out to be his closest match, a 3-2 win put him into the final.

In the lower half of the draw, Shaun Wilkes started with a 3-1 win over Dave French before edging past Chris Hart 3-2, A 3-0 win over Richard Pamment was next before facing last year’s Masters winner Gary Milne in the semi-final.

The day’s highest break of 106 helped Wilkes to a 3-2 win and a place in the final.

Breaks of 73 and 57 put Lines 2-0 up in the final before Wilkes hit back in the third. Ultimately Lines proved too strong and a win in the next frame wrapped up the 3-1 win and with it the Masters title.

The consolation Plate competition was won by Mike Lucas who defeated Mikey Gaughan in the final.
Many thanks to Andy Kitson for officiating and of course to our main sponsors the Northern Snooker Centre.

In form Milne takes the Masters Title

In form Milne takes the Masters Title.

Scarborough’s Gary Milne added the Yorkshire Masters title to the Yorkshire Snooker singles championship he won a couple of years ago.

The day started with a short tribute to the recently departed Alex Crum, led by Richard Bakes.

Once the action started it was clear Milne was going to be the man to beat, a magnificent run of 132 in his first match tying up the high break prize from the off. Further breaks of 54,91, and 68 helped him reach the final in quickfire time, including a fine semi-final win over Shaun Wilkes. He then had a short wait to see who he would face in the final.

In the top half of the draw, it was Mark Ball who emerged victorious, the highlight being a win in the semis against reigning Masters champion Craig Butler.

In the final itself, it looked like Ball was poised to take the first frame but a missed brown proved costly and Milne went 1 up. From there it was one-way traffic and breaks of 46 and 65 took Milne to a 3-0 victory and the title of Yorkshire Masters Champion.
