BREAKING NEWS ARCHIVE 23/04/03  - THE SOUTHPORT APRIL ADVANCED WEEK-END

The Southport  April Advanced weekend was won by David Maugham, who beat Keith Aiton (+9, -17 QP, +12) in a more than usually interesting final.

Keith won the second game of the final with a very tidy quad, and then TPOed David (in 2 turns) in the third game, with David on hoop 3 with his backward ball.  David narrowly failed to run the hoop from the contact leave after a big roll from west boundary, but later hit in from 30 yards and finished with a 3-ball break.

The other main game of note was in the Swiss, where David Maugham TPOed David Nicholson, and then pegged out both balls, leaving a one ball game with both clips on hoop 1.  David Nicholson then played excellently and won +5 OTP.

The Swiss Consolation Event was won by Ian Lines with 4 out of 5 wins.
