The Gibraltar Billiards & Snooker Association

 

Catch-up Games in The Team Snooker League.

In the league Piranha Designs.com played their game against the Cue Ball team, postponed from the 26th January last!

Lawrence Sisarello, the designer’s man-of-the-match, lost to Jonathan Collado on the black ball; after a very tight-fought game, by 57 points to 62! Sean Galligan then played Chris Shimidzu. Sean led by 12 points with 13 on the table. Sean eventually got the pink to take the frame 57 points to 39 and level the frame score. Next on Jeremy Gomez came up against the Cue Ball’s star man, Ernest Clinton. Ernest proved too strong for Jeremy in another black ball game, winning by 58 points to 50, giving the Cue Ball a two frames to one lead. Nicky Correa soon restored the balance when she beat Michael Zammitt 70 points to 12. The fifth and deciding frame featured Francis Becerra and Albert Perez. Francis took the frame at 61 points to 28 and so the game three frames to two; cutting the Cue Ball’s lead at the top of the table to six points!

Catch-Up in The Cup.

Meanwhile the Astoria too team and the boys from the Mediterranean Rowing club played their Memorial Trophy game, from last December, up in The Astoria R&F Club.

 

Henry Bear started off against Chris Nuñez in the first snooker frame. Chris was in no mood for play! Henry lost 8 points to 52 and Chris was nominated the Med’s star man! Kevin Dalli then played Peter Buttigieg and beat him 56 points to 18, in the other snooker frame. Antonio Cavilla played Tony Dellipiani, in the first of the frames of billiards, and Antonio won 100 points to 92 in a very tense battle. The second billiards frame was equally tense, if not as close, with Albert Goldwin losing to Peter Valarino 71 points to 100. At two frame4s all they came to the doubles snooker! Tich Olivero and Dougie Cooper against Wilfred Smart and Peter Valarino. A tight frame of snooker followed but Tich and Dougie out-played and out-safetied Wilf and Peter, to win the frame 51 points to 22 and the match three frames to two! Tich Olivero was nominated the Astoria’s man-of-the-match, for playing and Daryl Cavilla was overall boss-man for everything else!
