Rocks Jewellers Singles 2017/18 – Event 6 Results
February’s Rocks Jewellers Singles event did not produce quite the same high scoring as the previous month as players had to work a little harder to find strikes on an oil pattern with less volume than previous months.
Scores could still be found, however, as proven by Barry Foley’s leading total of 1197 in qualifying. He was joined in the Scratch finals by Paul Stott Jnr (1175), Joe Clancy (1139) and Paddy Dunne (1135).
In the Handicap section, Fran Puzzouli (1180) took the top seed position, with Gareth Shannon (1155), Paddy Gibbons (1151) and Sheron Sweeney (1144) making up the semi-final line-up.
The semi-finals threw up little in the way of surprises as the number one and two seeds won their matches in both sections to set up a face-off between the best players of the day in both sections.
Scratch Semi Finals
- Barry Foley 259 .v. Paddy Dunne 193
- Paul Stott Jnr. 223 .v. Joe Clancy 185
Handicap Semi Finals
- Fran Puzzouli 215 .v. Sheron Sweeney 210
- Gareth Shannon 257 .v. Paddy Gibbons 232
In truth both Finals played out in much the same fashion as the semi-finals, with the top seeds always in control and never really looking like they were going to allow the lower seed to put the pressure on them and snatch the victory away from them. In the end the top players took home the winner’s prizes after another great round of action in the Rocks Jewellers Singles.
Scratch Final
Barry Foley 226 .v. Paul Stott Jnr. 180
Handicap Final
Fran Puzzouli 257 .v. Gareth Shannon 180
