Stan Bent Team Knockout Final Result

Played Sunday 10th April 2022

THE KENNYS CUE  4-1  GPO Social A

Congratulations to The Kennys Cue on winning their 6th Stan Bent Team Knockout. Wins for Mike Barker, Dave Barker & Dave Whitfield (2), ably supported by both Martin Priestley and Nicky Hodgkinson saw the Cue Men finish on high with fine win over the GPO A.

The GPO A sole reply was Phil Aldiss. Mark Sheerin, Mick Bryant, James Alldiss and Ant Davis should be proud of their achievement on getting to the final after a indifferent league campaign. 

The Final was played in good spirit with some Fine potting from the Barkers to give them a 2-0 lead, however Priestley went in off on the black to give Phil Alldiss a win to make it 2-1. Whitfield managed to overcome a challenging frame to Make it 3-1. Whitfield went straight back on to play Davis but struggled to get a hold and after a long, scrappy frame, eventually he won the frame after a missed opportunity by Davis. 

Thank you to both Shaun Cooper and Kev Brown on officiating the match.

Also thank you to Kennys Sportsbar on hosting the Final.
