DBSL Handicap Event Entry Form
 
 

The DBSL would like to congratulate “The Finisher” Philip Browne, of Roadstone E, on winning the Ink Spot 2025 Dublin Scratch Snooker Championships. Philip beat Andrew Doherty 3-1 in the final, securing victory, and taking the title for the second year in a row. The event was held in Roadstone Snooker Club Saturday 12th April and in Pioneers Snooker Club Sunday 13th April.

Philip Browne started the tournament seeded number 1, of course, and had a straight forward route to the Quarter Final, where he came up against the up and coming Clayton Cregan of Pioneers Blue. The finisher beat Clayton 3-1 and moved on to face the well experienced Brendan Thomas in the Semi Final.

Brendan got ahead slightly in the first two frames of the semi final but, unfortunately for Brendan, Philip showed his own patience and experience, and chipped away in both frames, clawing back the deficit, and taking the lead into the colours on both occasions, putting himself 2-0 in front. The finisher then more or less bossed the 3rd and final frame, winning the match 3-0 and booking his place in the final.

As the final got underway, you could cut the tension with a knife, as each player desperately wanted to take the opening frame and assert dominance over the other. Both players were locked level on 35 points each on the last red when Philip finally got the upper hand and laid a difficult snooker, in which Andrew failed to escape the first two attempts. On the third attempt, Andrew hit the red but left his opponent a chance. Philip capitalised on this chance and took the opening frame.

Andrew hit back in frame 2 with a 37 break straight away and although the end of the frame was a little rocky, this contribution was enough in the end for Andrew to take the second frame levelling the match 1-1.

The third frame could have gone either way, with Philip getting in first with a 34 and Andrew answering with a 28. The frame was in the balance and Andrew looked like he may take it but missed the yellow, allowing Philip back to the table to take the yellow, green and brown, which was enough to take his lead to 2-1.

Philip then went on to take the 4th and final frame getting himself into the lead early with two modest breaks of 20 and 18 and protecting it well. The final score: 3-1 to the Finisher.

Andrew’s route to the final saw him beat Brian McPhee, of Pioneers Blue, 3-1 in the last 16 match, before taking down Kevin O’Brien, also of Pioneers Blue, 3-1 in the Quarter Final and Robert Moynihan, of Transport Club, 3-0 in the Semi Final.

DBSL would also like to thank Tournament Director Stephen Merrigan, Brendan Murphy and Niall Lawless, and both the Roadstone Snooker Club and Pioneer Snooker Club for their fine hospitality throughout both days. Thanks also to Niall Lawless for reffing the Final.

DBSL would also like to give a special thanks and mention to the sponsor of the event, Ink Spot.

Highest Break of the tournament was 61, compiled nicely by Brian “The Rocket” O’Rourke.
