The Catholic Gymkhana Open Handicap Snooker Tournament 2010
25 February 2010
Kobnak shocks Selven
Kobnak (+55), who clinched the opening frame for a crucial advantage, endured a late challenge from Selven (+50) who rifled in a significant break of 33 to snatch the second frame. But Kobnak thrived on a substantial lead in the decider to romp into the third round.
Catholic Gymkhana’s Walter Pereira stretched Chandra Poojari of Tata Sports Club in another exciting second round tie.
Pereira (+60) came up with vintage snooker to take his fancied opponent the distance before Poojari (+55) ended the veteran’s campaign with a hard-fought 121-131, 124-102, 99-93 win in a thriller that included a black ball finish in the decider.
Anuj Mahajan (+55) of Radio Club was in good form as he capitalized on a fluke snooker in the opening frame to beat Kekoo Nicholson (+55) of CCI 111-80, 103-56 to also advance to the third round.
(2nd Rd): Suneet Saldukar (+45, C.Rly) bt Abhishek Soparkar (+60, Thane) 116-77, 108-98 Chandra Poojari (+55, Tata SC) bt Walter Pereira (+60, Catholic Gym) 121-131, 124-102, 99-93 Pratush Sonayagula (+40, C.Rly) bt Amardeep Singh (+55, Goregaon SC) 115-76, 104-68 Ajit Kobnak (+55, PJ Hindu Gym) bt Samuel Selven (+50, Otters Club) 115-90, 92-133(33), 105-96 Ramesh Arora (+60, Bombay Gym) bt Ibrahim Shaikh (+55, MCF) 108-98, 111-88 Anuj Mahajan (+55, Radio Club) bt Kekoo Nicholson (+55, CCI) 111-80, 103-56.
