Foreign players

Hello all!
I am a Portuguese snooker player living and working at Barcelona and I wanted to participate in some snooker competitions in UK. As the participation on this tournaments implies the flight and hostage, I would like to know if you (organization) would confirm my participation on this Open if I decide to go. I have also some friends that maybe would like to join me on this adventure.
We are playing here the I National league of snooker with some snooker clubs from Madrid, Barcelona and other cities. The level of the players is not so good compared to the British ones, but we are starting creating some basis for the future and capturing more and more fans.
Thanks for your attention and I hope to see some feedback from you.
Kind Regards,

Francisco Domingues

Results

Martin makes it two in a row

Some of Nottingham’s best amateur snooker players turned out for the second Eastwood Open, which was held at Phoenix cue sports. Former professional Wayne Martin successfully defended his title running out a three nil winner in the final against Long Eaton’s Stuart Crosswell. Runs of 20 and 26 helped Martin take a scrappy opening frame before the final came to life in the second. Martin opened up with a good 45 break but Crosswell responded immediately knocking in a 32 which would have been more but for an agonizingly under hit red which sat in the jaws of the corner pocket. This miss appeared to affect Crosswell mentally who then made several unforced errors which the experienced Martin took full advantage of to run out a comfortable winner and pocket the £80 prize fund. Earlier in the day the eventual winner had to endure a shock two nil loss to Steve Butler who knocked in a superb 52 break. The defeat was obviously the wake up call Martin needed as he went on to beat Adam Shaw, Ross Wilkin, Nav Hussain and Lee Buckle knocking in breaks of 52, 40 and 37 in the process. The highest break of the tournament was a superb 70 by Nav Hussain who was also second on the list with a 55. The next open has been pencilled in for the end of June and anyone interested should contact Steve Lally on 01773 760459.
