Provincial Championship 2018 Recap

The Corner Bank April 13, 14 & 15 2018

 Ontario Provincial Champion

 Congratulations to Floyd Ziegler 

 Not even the weather could put a damper on a very successful weekend. With 53 players  participating in the Eliminations and another 16 players seeded we knew we where in for a great weekend of Snooker. Once again The Corner Bank hosted our Provincial Championship and we would like to thank Jim, John and the staff for their hospitality. We started Friday evening with 8 matches and then continued Saturday until we where down to 8 players, at that point we brought in 9th to 16th from our Ranking System playing one more match with 8 players proceeding through to play our top 8 from the Ranking System on Sunday for the Provincial Championship. Throughout the weekend there where many exciting matches. As Sunday progressed with some great matches we came down to our final four. Derrick Claus took on Lobsang Lama, two of our top players in the Rankings going head to head but in the end Derrick proved to be just too tough for Lobsang. In the other Semi we found Floyd Ziegler a three time Event winner this seaon taking on Jason Williams. The match went back and forth for the first four frames but then Floyd took the lead and never looked back wining 4-2. The final match we knew would be a great one with two players that love to run balls and are not afraid to take chances. Derrick started off wining the first game but then Floyd came right back wining the second game to make it all square at one a piece. Then Derrick pulled ahead 2-1 but Floyd came fighting back wining the next three in a row to become the Ontario Provincial Champion. 

All in all it was a great weekend. I would like to thank Presley Bacchus and Jim Wych for running the event and keeping me updated with scores so I could keep all our players updated. Our website attracted the most views ever for our Championship which just shows the interest in Snooker is back.

We are working on our new schedule for 2018/19 season and some very exciting news.

Once again we would like to thank all our players for their participation throughout the season because without you this would not be possible.
