Snookerfans.co.uk have a burning passion to find the next snooker star from these shores, So we have decided to put together a series of free entry invitational events for under 18s to help unearth the next Ronnie O’Sullivan, Mark Selby or as we like to call it “Stars of the future”.
It was Harlow’s Alex Clenshaw that proved to be the shining star on the day as he breezed through his qualifying group and the went into overdrive in the knockout stages winning his semi final and final without dropping a frame.
The much anticipated clash between red hot prospects Robbie Mcguigan and Alex Clenshaw didn’t disappoint as both showed glimpses of their undoubted talent but it was Clenshaw who stole the show with a sublime break of 111 in frame 3 of their match to wrap up victory.
Earlier in the day Robbie Mcguigan showed his class with an excellent break of 103 and will no doubt be one to watch in the very near future.
Big mentions for Ronnie Sullivan and Bradley Cowdroy who both showed some great promise and will also no doubt have big future’s in the game if they continue to progress nicely.
All in all it was a great day at the excellent Dunstable snooker club, It was great to see that we have some exciting player’s coming through on these shores and a massive thanks goes to Suny Singh and all his fantastic staff for their hospitality in holding this event.
