KEVIN Impett’s shock victory over ranking leader Jordan Winbourne lifted the 18-year-old to second place on the Cuestars South of England Under-21 Gold Tour.
A 3-1 victory over the England international in the event-four final at the Ambassador Snooker Club, Bournemouth, wrapped up Impett’s first tournament win on the tour.
Impett, from Chandler’s Ford SC, said: “I was pleased because he’s been beating me recently so I got a bit of revenge.”
He saw off club-mate Daniel Woods 3-0 in the last-four.
Winbourne, also from Chandler’s Ford SC, made breaks of 50, 44, 44 and 41 in the group stages.
The 13-year-old beat 17-year-old Ben Tanner (The Academy, Eastleigh) 3-0 in the second semi and remains top. Tanner is third.
Making his debut in the competition, Chris Richards, from Roath Labour Club, near Cardiff, could consider himself unlucky not to reach the knockout after battling our three five-frame matches.
The fifth tournament in the series is at The Academy, Eastleigh, on March 7.

BACK-to-back tournament wins have taken Gosport’s Lee Warner to top spot on the Cuestars South of England Under-21 Silver Tour.
Warner, who triumphed in Swindon in December, hit the front after a thrilling 3-2 victory over Chandler’s Ford debutant Bouwe Bosma in the event-four final at the Ambassador Snooker Club, Bournemouth.
Astonishingly, both finalists beat their highest competitive break in the match.
Warner, based at Stoke Snooker Club, led 2-0 with a personal best 76. Bosma, 14, pulled one back with a 62 clearance and then forced a decider. Warner sealed a 3-2 win on the blue.
And Eastleigh’s Liam Burnet also notched up a new high break. The 15-year-old left-hander fired in a 69 in the round-robin group stages.
The breaks mean all three will gain promotion to the elite Gold Tour next season.
Burnet beat rankings leader and club-mate Lee Bell 3-0 in the quarter-finals but lost 3-2 to Warner in the last four.
Bosma disposed of the 2008/09 under-15 champion Bradley Chappell (Bournemouth) 3-1 in the second semi.

IT’S three out of four tournament wins for High Wycombe’s phenomenal potter Ryan Gavin on the Cuestars South of England Under-21 Silver Tour.
