Shane Paul wins the 2019 WINNING SMILES 16 and over Snooker Tournament.

Shane Paul overcame John Howard 2-0 in the final, both players played 
very well throughout the tournament and the final was played in good 
spirit yet very competitive.

Many thanks to Wangi Workers Club for hosting the tournament and to John Hicks for table preparation and general assistance on  the day.

Neil Fatania showed the potential we always knew he had in winning the 2019 14 & Under Snooker Tournament on the weekend. Neil won all his matches with the scoreline at either 3-0 or 3-1 which was impressive considering it was a handicapped tournament. After Kahibah Sports Dave Foxley looked like he was going to finish Neil’s run in the final after winning the first frame convincingly but Neil then won the next 3 frames to take the title. Thanks to Wangi Workers Club for hosting the tournament and our sponsors – Winning Smiles

Entries are now being accepted for the ‘Winning Smiles’ 2019 Newcastle Open Snooker Championship. Our premier event will once again be held on the weekend prior to the Bob Hawke Australian Open. This is a great opportunity for those travelling players to have a competitive hit-out in preparation for the national tournament. This year we have a guaranteed prize pool of $3,000 plus entries. We hope that this incentive will make it our biggest event ever!

Please find below the draw for the 2019 Winning Smiles 16 & Over Snooker Tournament Draw. Due to the number of entries for this weekend it’s been decided to run the tournament on the Saturday only. Please be at the venue, Wangi Workers Club, at least 30 minutes early as players will ‘roll -on, roll-off’ as tables become available. Good luck
