I HAVE TO GIVE IT TO STEPHEN SHEPHERD FOR HIS MAGNIFICENT SET UP, 5 FIRST CLASS TABLES, EVERY PLAYER COMMENTED ON THEM, HE WILL GO PLACES WITH THIS VENUE.

WE HAD GREAT SNOOKER ON THE DAY WITH J JOHNSTON TAKING PART BUT HE CAME UP AGAINST IT WITH THE IN FORM J HAGAN QUICKLY RUNNING OUT A 4-0 WINNER AND K MC MAHON GETTING THE BETTER OF M MC DONALD. S SHEPHERD PLAYED A GREAT MATCH ONLY FOR D O NEILL IN HIS 1ST APPEARANCE IN OUR TOURNAMENTS GETTING THE EDGE OVER HIM.

L CROOKS TOOK HIS TIME IN DISPOSING OF M LOUGHLIN WHO WAS ALSO A FIRST TIMER.THE SEMI FINALS BROUGHT 2 GOOD MATCHES TOGETHER WITH J HAGAN UP AGAINST K MC MAHON, WHAT A SHOCK JOHN CAME THROUGH A 4-0 WINNER. THE SECOND SEMI WAS A GOOD SCRAP BETWEEN DAVY AND LIAM WITH BOTH PLAYERS KNOWING EACH OTHERS GAME,FROM THE BELFAST AND DISTRICT LEAGUE,THIS TIME DAVY GETTING THE VICTORY.
