Snooker/Billiards/Pool: The St Bernard’s ‘Famous Grouse’ Open Snooker Tournament 2006

First Round
After two weeks play we reach the end of the first round of the Famous Grouse Open snooker tournament. Games have gone more or less to form.

On the first Monday evening Peter de la Rosa beat Adrian Wink by 2 frames to 1 and Guy Olivero beat Tyrone Olivero two frames to nil. Next day on the Tuesday Tom Rooney had a walk over and Yewhung Chin beat Gareth Cano by two nil. Thursday night saw Andrew Olivero winning two nil against Kevin Dali and Peter Valarino beating Fernando Monteverde two frames to one. On the Friday night Mukesh Bakhru beat Henry Vinet two nil.

The second week also went to form with Les Moore beating Kevin Dobson two nil, on Monday, and Chris Shimidzu winning two to one against Adrian Holmes on the Wednesday.

On Tuesday Sean Galligan (pictured right) beat Laurence Sisarello two to one after a very shaky start. Thursday night Eddie Newton came through two nil against Titch Olivero and Antonio Cavilla beat Merv Padmore, also two to nil. Francis Becerra beat Aaron Lima two nil, earlier in the week.

The second round will be played next week, starting on Monday 20th at 6.30 pm.
Only two games were postponed – because players were in Ireland at the pool championships.
