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.

DBSL would like to congratulate Philip Browne on reaching the final of the National 6 Red Championships for the second year in a row.

He will once again face Rodney Goggins in the final which will be held on the Finals Weekend in Carlow in May.

His route to the 2025 Final consisted of close 5-4 wins over John Thorpey, in round 1, and Dylan Rees, in the last 16.

Philip then moved on to beat Victor McCormack 5-4 in the quarter final and Mark Gleeson 5-0 in the semi Final.

DBSL would like to wish a huge congratulations to Peter “The Pistol” Conroy, of Pioneers Black, on winning the 2025 Dublin Individual Championships which was held this weekend in Roadstone and Pioneers Snooker Club on the 22nd/23rd March 2025.

Pete’s road to victory began Saturday morning in the Pioneers Venue and included two demolishing 3-0 wins over last year’s runner up Kevin O’Brien in the first round, and people’s champion Brian “Rocket” O Rourke, in the last 16.
The quarter final, however, was a little more cagey for Pete, but he still came through beating Pioneers Blue Joey Kenny 3-2 in a close decider.

Pete was again in fine form heading into the Semi Final, meeting one of Roadstone C’s finest, Paddy Brady. This match had a few ebbs and flows as Pete found himself 1-0 down to Paddy before battling back to 1-1, only for Paddy to push into the lead 2-1, and for Pete to once again battle back to level 2-2 bringing the game to a decider, Paddy looked the stronger as the frame neared its end but Pete’s tactical play marginally gained him the advantage which saw him edge over the line 3-2 and propel him into the final. Waiting for him was another Roadstone C obstacle. This time in the form of Big Dave Goddard.

In the Final showdown, the Pistol started strongly, potting some nice opening balls and playing tight safety, and quickly raced off to a 1-0 lead over his opponent. Dave battled hard in the second frame but Pete once again proved too strong, extending his lead out to 2-0. Dave struggled to contain the Pistol in the third frame and fell behind 38 points with 35 remaining. Dave had one last chance and played a nice red with the rest but couldn’t hold for the much needed pink or black. After a final bit of to-ing and fro-ing, Pete sealed the title by potting the brown for a 3-0 win, taking the match and title.

Dave’s impressive run to the final began in Round 1, beating the reigning champion Dehna Bennett of Pioneers Pink 3-1, and Pat Smullen of Pioneers Black 3-0 in the last 16, before eventually coming out victorious over a fellow Roadstone C team member Lenny Malone with a 3-0 win in the Quarter Final. On Sunday morning, Dave convincingly beat the steady Conor Harkin 3-0 in the semi final to book his place in the final against Peter.

DBSL would like to thank both Roadstone Snooker Club and Pioneers Snooker Club for once again hosting this great event, including Niall Lawless, Kevin O’Brien, Brendan Murphy, Ivor Fitzpatrick and Stephen Merrigan for showing a great deal of hospitality to all the players throughout the event. They would also like to thank Andrew Harvey for helping co-ordinate the latter parts of the Saturday event in Pioneers and a special mention and thanks to Brian “The Rocket” O’Rourke for reffing the Final.

DBSL would once again especially like to thank First Aid Systems Ltd for kindly sponsoring the event, which has hugely helped support not only this great tournament but also the growth of Snooker in Dublin.
