Eddie Manning (STR Clinton) is this year’s County Individual Snooker Champion after a 5-0 victory in the final against Chris Mason (Mawnan Smith).

Ex professional, Eddie comfortably won a cagey opening frame but Chris started off well in the second building up a 40 point leaded helped with a 32 break but Eddie produced a 62 clearance to win the frame.

The third frame was close as well but Eddie pinched it on the pink and a 31 break helped him win the fourth. After the interval Eddie finished the game in style with a superb 100 break.

Steve Downing (STR Clinton) retained the Individual Billiards Championship with an 800 points to 652 points victory over Derek White (Jago Institute, Menheniot). Steve gained breaks of 38, 40, 45 & 63 and Derek had breaks of 71, 33, 41 & 38.

There was a big shock in the Team County Fives Snooker Final as STR Clinton B defeated their mighty A team 3-0. Chris Mason had a 40 break in defeating Graham Denning in the first frame, last years county champion, Rob Johns defeated Phil Lane in the second and Aiden Johns defeated Ben Rickard in the third. Individual Billiards and Snooker Champions, Steve Downing and Eddie Manning were drawn 4th and 5th and didn’t get the chance to play.
