PRESIDENT’S CUP 2010

Sunday the 24th of January saw the 20th running of the DMC Saffron Walden & District Snooker League President’s Cup sponsored by Bullet Brickwork UK Ltd,. 40 players from as far a field as Sawston through to Harlow came to take part and the event was held at Saffron Snooker Club.

The President’s Cup is a handicap singles tournament and the maximum difference is limited to 85 points head start per frame. 

The first round of the tournament shaped the way the day would go, with most of the league’s top names going out, defending champion Dave Taylor crashed out, along with team mates Neil Waterman, Darren Edmonston and Danny Mooney who had all come from the Harlow War Memorial Club. Mooney played Adam Ingram, who knocked in break of 107 during there match. 

Ingram was at it again in the second round, playing his team mate Steve Wright he had another century break, this time a 110 to see him through, and this proved to be the highest break of the day. 

The players who had lost there first match of the day all had the chance to go into the Plate tournament, and this was now underway, adding to the atmosphere which was starting to build inside the club. 

By the time both tournaments has reached the semi final stage, the main tournament was looking like it could be a family affair, with the Spackman brothers, Rob and Mike still in and in opposite sides of the draw. Mike beat Nigel Ginn of the Bishops Stortford Tornados to book his place in the final, but Rob couldn't repeat his brother’s form, going down 2-1 to Roger Loveday from the Sawston Jets. 

In the final of the Plate tournament, Jeff Langmaid of the Snooker Club Spiders was taking on Sam Moralee of the Snooker Club Greens, and  in a fast flowing match it was Jeff who took the victory with a great shot on the last red to ease him to the trophy 

The final of the main event had the makings of a great match, and that's what the supporters of both players got. Mike was giving Roger 44 points head start per frame, and both players kept their form of the earlier rounds going into the final, the match became even more finely poised as the frame score went 1-1 and the match went to the deciding frame, in what turned into a superb frame of snooker, with a twist at the end even Sherlock Holmes wouldn't have seen coming, Mike having caught up the handicap and moved 17 points in front with only 22 left on the table, he looked to have the match won, but having been on the defensive for most of the frame, Roger calmly potted the brown, blue and pink to make it a black ball frame and match. Mike had the first chance to pot it, going for a risky long shot down the rail, which looked to be heading in, but the black hit the jaws of the pocket and headed across the table coming to rest a few inches from the opposite side pocket, Roger held his nerve and potted it for the match.

Congratulations Roger and Jeff
