Ice Cool Ross Wins Event 5
Stuart Ross kept a cool head to win event 5 on what was an uncomfortably hot Nottingham Grand Prix and become the 4th different winner thus far. In fact 3 of the semi-finalists had not been that far before perhaps showing that November’s Grand Finals could be wide open. The Long Eaton cueist beat Jamie Sampson 3-1 in the final having seen off Malc Belshaw in the semi’s. Earlier in the day Ross enjoyed two nil wins over Danny Castel-Nuovo and Joe Trout whilst gaining a draw against Wayne Martin to top Group C. The highest break of the day was from Nottingham Legend Bash Maqsood who knocked in a wonderful 91 against the previous two events winner Jason Stockton who surprisingly failed to progress from his group. Stuart Ross has now moved into second place in the rankings with just 600 points separating 1st place from 3rd. We managed to bank a further £125 for the finals prize fund, which now stands at £550.
