National Event 2 Newark

Middlesboroughs James Halpin turned the tables on teammate Aaron Hatton who won the 1st event at the Northern Snooker Centre in Leeds 3 weeks ago, when winning the 2nd event of the series hosted by Newarks Cue Club.
Halpin defeated Hatton 200-181 in a very ‘cagey’ final to take the 1st prize and maximum ranking points.

Kings Lynn’s Chris drew pushed Halpin hard in the semis, building up a lead after a long safety exchange which he got the better of, however the Middlesborough man edged the game by 1 point.

Luke Christain of Boston won the Plate and another Boston player Shane Drury the Subsidiary. Newcomers to the Series James Rix (Downham Mkt ) did very well to reach the Semis on his 1st appearance , while Lincolns Jem Renshaw also impressed with some excellent potting.

Many thanks to Jules and all his staff at the Club for making the Tour very welcome.
