The DBSL would like to congratulate Clayton “The Celt” Cregan, of the Pioneers Blue, on winning the second DBSL Handicap Series event of the 26/27 Season.

The event was held in Roadstone Snooker Club today and sponsored by Thomas Family Financial Services.
Clayton, back after a four month break from competitive snooker bursts back on to the scene with a 2-1 win over Philip Mc Caffrey, of the football team that is Roadstone D.

The Final was a high quality, back and forth tense affair, but after the final blue in the deciding frame, was marginally missed by Phil, Clayton stepped up to take the blue and pink for the victory.

Clayton started off his run to the Final by beating James O’Toole 2-1 in Round 1, before beating his team mate Kevin O’Brien 2-0 in the Last 16.
The Celt then progressed on through the tournament where he beat the highly consistent Robert Moynihan 2-1 in the Quarter Final and Mustafa Alawi 2-0 in the Semi Final.

On the other side of the draw, Mc Caffrey beat Stephen Byrne 2-0 in the Last 16 and Tony Kenny 2-1 in the Quarter Final. Philip then went on to beat the rock solid Ivor Fitzpatrick 2-0 in the Semi Final.

Let’s not forget to mention the much talked about dramatic highlight of the day when the well experienced and exceedingly cunning Pat “The Steady” Smullen convincingly, and without much effort, knocked out the in form, pre-tournament favourite, Stephen Reddington in Round 1.

Once again, DBSL would like to thank Tournament Director Niall Lawless, along with Aidan Bergin and Mick Kearns of the Roadstone Snooker Club, for their hospitality throughout the day.

A special thanks today goes out to our DBSL Event 2 sponsor Thomas Family Financial Services.

Ivor Fitzpatrick got the highest break of the day, 75.

Winner and Runner Up: Clayton Cregan and Philip McCaffrey
