Dhvaj Haria continued
his winning spree
Defending champion Dhvaj Haria of Gujarat continued his winning spree in
the Junior boys Billiards of the Manisha Billiards and Snooker Nationals
being organized by the Uttar Pradesh Billiards and Snooker Association at
Lucknow.
Young cueist, who had wrested the title at Gwalior nationals last year,
proved too tough to handle for Maharashtra’s Rajwardhan Joshi before
scripting a facile 423-179 win. Last year’s runners-up Jagadesh B of Tamil
Nadu also carved out an easy 314-129 win against Bharath Sharma of
Haryana. By virtue of their wins both made it to the quarterfinals.
Day’s biggest highlight was the victory of Maharashtra’s Ishpreet Chadha,
who defeated Tanurag Gautam of Chandigarh 547-198.
In snooker, Shobhit Sethi of Punjab had a straight frame win against
Mandeep Singh of Uttar Pradesh 3-0, while Gurdit Singh of Delhi also had a
straight frames win against Md Saif Khan of West Bengal 3-0 to enter the
pre-quarterfinals.
Odisha’s Ashutosh Padhey, who had a golden double in the sub-junior
category yesterday, when he claimed both snooker and billiards title,
continued his winning spree by beating Sahil Nayyar of Punjab 148-290 in
pre-quarters. But in the Junior Snooker main draw it was quite the
opposite. After having come through the qualifiers, his first match was
against yesterday’s Sub Junior runner up Johnson Narsidani of Gujarat and
as they say the qualifier is the most dangerous player in the group was
true today too. Though Johnson did win a frame but it was a win for the
Punjab lad as he closed the proceedings 3-1.
