Congratulations to the Jets team winning the 2024 Snooker Grand final from the Gold Diggers in another closely fought battle. Lots of nervous shots, missed opportunities, extra safety plus a few excellent shots - just what you would expect in a grandfinal. John Eltringham was once again called on to play a deciding frame and he called on his experience to overcome Joey Tohme. Thanks to all the referees and a great turn up from others to support.

Congratulations to Ron Callender winning the championship from Nathan Charles 4 frames to 2. (46-42, 17-54, 14-50, 46-8, 46-43 and 38-37). There were many excellent shots played during the game, but nerves and pressure also resulted in many missed opportunities. Ron won the last frame with a 35 clearance. Thanks to the referees Jason Smiley and Jason Crocker

The 2024 Snooker Singles Handicap Championship has been won by Jason Crocker who had a 2-0 win over Joey Tohme. Congratulations to both players making the final. Thanks to all that entered and to the referees.

The annual Begonia Snooker Cup between Ballarat, Bendigo and Geelong was held at the Airport club on March 16th. It was once again a very close contest with the result going down to a black ball game in the last frame. Results: Ballarat 17 frames (Ron Callender, Ben Cahill, Jason Crocker and Nathan Charles), Bendigo 16 frames, Geelong 15 frames. Most frames: Ben Cahill 6 from 8 / Breaks over 40: Nathan Charles 49, 41

Congratulations to Jason Smiley winning the Handicap Singles championship beating Norm Beshara in a one sided game. Jason played reasonably consistent throughout the tournament. Unfortunately for Norm, his form was very good to get to the final (although luck in the first round), but he could not get going in the final. Thanks to all who entered and supported the event.
