17.08.2015 :: Akil upset Johnson
in Junior Snooker of Gujarat State
The Winsome
Realty Gujarat State Open Ranking Billiards & Snooker Championship for 2015 is
under way. The event is jointly organized by Rajpath Club Ltd. and Gujarat State
Billiards Association (GSBA).
The Senior Snooker and Junior Snooker events are currently in their knock out
stage and are been played on a best of 3 frames format.
In the Junior Snooker event, young and promising Akil Rajani thrashed defending
champion and top seed Johnson Narsidani to enter the Top 4 Round Robin league
stage. Rajani from the very start was seeming confident enough to win. He
crafted good breaks by his spectacular potting abilities and took the first
frame at 68-64. In the second frame Narsidani took charge and won at 64-28
forcing a decider. In the decider frame, both the players were at par with each
other but a good Snooker from Rajani got his opponent into big trouble where
Narsidani lost 24 points and Rajani went 16 points up. But still Narsidani had
not lost hope and scored all the balls except the last black ball which both
needed to win. Narsidani missed a sitter on the black and left Rajani a pot on,
which won him the match at 63-60. Bhavin Sonaiya and Dhanraj Solanki also
entered the Top 4 Round Robin League Stage.
In the Senior Snooker event, third seed Yagnesh Merai had no trouble winning his
first round to Het Panchal in two straight frames.
