With the semi finalist qualifiers facing off against Nigel Bond

All qualifiers were best of 5 frames and the final best of 7 frames.

 

This event truly was a showcase of the high quality of snooker that Sheffield has to offer and was an amazing tournament to witness. There really was some amazing potting on display and a real competitive edge to the gameplay.

Fighting off tough competition the semi finalists were drawn as David Portman V Nigel Bond and Pete Bardsley V Stephen Harrison MBE.

David Portman very impressively managed to knock out the former World Championship finalist and progress to the final where he was soundly beaten by academy founder and former professional snooker player of 12 years Stephen Harrison MBE in a 3-0 thrashing.

Congratulations to all the players and referees that participated in this wonderful event, it truly was an incredible display of snookering talent and we hope that this is the first of many such competitive pro-am snooker tournaments hosted by SHA.
