Lucknow :: 23 Feb 2014
Shandilya entered into
Last 16 by winning all games
Ashok Shandilya of Railways kept enjoying his easy sailing to the last-16
of Senior Billiards (Men) of Manisha Billiards and Snooker Nationals being
played here at Lucknow. He outplayed Sagar Yadav of Gujarat 3-0.
Shandilya played 5 matches of best of five games in group stage and did
not lose a single game throughout.
Day's biggest highlight was the entry of Dhruv Sitwala into Last 16
despite losing the decider against Dhvaj Haria of Gujarat. Dhruv was
required only a frame to qualify from group stage and he did the same by
winning opening game. After that Dhvaj capitalized and won 3-2 but all
efforts went in vain as he finished No.3 in group D.
Rajasthan’s Jaswinder Singh, who defeated Durga Prasad of Railways 3-0 to
make it to the billiards Pre- quarterfinals earlier in the day, looked
confident against Durga in Billiards from the very start.
Earlier in the day, Rupesh Shah of PSPB had a straight game win against
Siddharth Parikh of Railways 3-0.

matches will start at 1200 Hours on 24 February 2014.
