THE grand finals of Northern Interclub Snooker were conducted at the Works Club last week, with close games and lots of tension, controversial decisions, and some good and bad luck, all providing great competition.

In A grade snooker, a year of uncertainty for Exeter RSL Club was given a positive twist on Thursday night with its A grade snooker team winning the 2010 grand final by downing Works Black 3-1 in the final. 

The opening match was between Blacks' David Bates, who won this year's most consistent player, and conceded 54 points start to Exeter's Adam Bindoff. Bates showed all his class to easily win 2-0, scoring over 90 points in each frame. On the other table, Exeter's Rex Swain (16) and Blacks' Bruce Lockley (26) were closely matched, Swain winning the first frame, Lockley the second. The third frame resulted in a rare tied score, with a re- spotted black seeing the match go to Swain. 

The final was tied up at one match each. 

The third match decided was between Exeter's Gary Bakker (30) and Andrew Saltmarsh (28). Two close frames went one each with Bakker steadying in the final frame to give Exeter a 2-1 lead. 

The final match between Exeter's Ben Swain (24) and Peter Wallace (42) for Black, became an epic, lasting two hours and with all the tension expected of a grand final. Wallace won the first frame, aided by a perfect snooker, effecting the foul and miss rule. Swain won the second frame. The third was very close decided on the blue and pink when Peter Wallace potted the blue and went in off, then fouled three times on the pink to hand the frame and match to Exeter.

In the first round of matches, Amber's Ivor OConnor won 2-0 against Navy's Alan Legg, Tacey Saltmarsh lost 2-0 to John Fordham in two very close frames, John Saggers and Craig Jory won one frame each. 

In the second round of matches Ambers Adam Gurr won his first frame against Brian OByrne while Peter Grimes lost his first frame to Navy's Steve Collins but came good in the second frame. David Bushby won both frames against Ray Skinner, the second frame coming from behind to win on the black.

Snooker finals results surprise in top grades

THE preliminary finals of Northern interclub snooker provided surprise results with both A grade and A reserve ladder leaders being eliminated.

In A grade snooker, Exeter RSL won through to the grand final with a tense 3-1 win over Launceston RSL. Exeter's captain Rex Swain (16) led the way with a 2-0 win against Paul Zoon (32) while Launceston's David Shepherd (28) levelled the scores with a 2-0 win over Exeter's Gary Bakker (30). 

The second round of matches saw Exeter's Ben Swain off 24 pitted against former state champion Roydyn Bishop off a handicap of two. Swain won the first, Bishop levelled in the second, in the deciding frame the handicap proved too much and Swain put Exeter 2-1 up. 

In the final match Launceston's captain Robin McEnnulty (10) conceded a 26-point start to Exeter's Adam Bindoff (36), one of the competition's most improved players. Bindoff, with the aid of a 21 break, won the first frame. McEnnulty won the second and set up a very tense final frame to decide the result. In a frame that could have gone either way, Bindoff finally potted the pink to win a thriller. 

This week's grand final is between defending premiers Works Black and Exeter RSL. The match will be played at the Works Club, Elizabeth Street, at 7pm on Thursday. 

In A reserve, Works Green has led the way all season, winning the minor premiership by a whopping 31 points. But on Wednesday night the side went down 4-7 to Works Navy and bowed out of the final series. 

In the first round of three matches, Navy's veteran Alan Legg was too strong for Lee Morcom winning 2-0, while Brian O'Byrne and Steve Collins, for Navy, drew with Green's George Zammitt and Rohan Phelps respectively to give the Navy team a 4-2 lead. In the second round of matches Navy's Darryl Fox drew with Green's Glen Johansen while John Fordham, for Navy, secured the victory, winning both frames against David Thomas. 

This week's A reserve grand final is a match between two Works teams, Amber and Navy. 

The match will be played at the Works Club, Elizabeth Street, from 7pm tomorrow. 

Player in profile

David Bates, of Works Black, formerly from Victoria, and originally better known as a billiard player, has won this year's A grade consistency trophy by winning 28 frames from 41 played, a 68 per cent result. 

In the process Bates has reduced his handicap from zero to minus 18, which means in this week's grand final he will concede between a 34 and 54 point start per frame, depending on which Exeter RSL player he draws. 

The 2010-11 billiards roster starts on October 12. Team nominations close on October 2.
