Billiards & Snooker
Sports Reporter
Coimbatore: Vijay Nichani of Champions Billiards Academy clinched both the snooker and billiards titles in the fourth non-ranking snooker and second non-medallist billiards tournament for the H.A. Sivalingaiah Rolling Trophy at the CBA Hall here on Monday. The 25-year-old from Coimbatore, who is coached by 17-time State champion Prem Prakash, scored a hard fought 3-2 win over club-mate Sanjeev Singhi for the snooker title. Vijay followed it up with a resounding 5-1 win over J. Senthil of CBA to complete a rare double for his Academy. The snooker final was evenly contested. Sanjeev took the first frame, rather easily, at 61-28 but Vijay bounced back on time to level scores at 55-40. A similar situation prevailed in the next two frames with Sanjeev taking the third (71-30) and Vijay, with a long pot in brown and blue, the fourth (65-25). In the deciding frame, the latter raced to a 40-point lead but the former made a snooker in green and reduced the margin to a great extent. Just when the game seemed to be slipping away from Vijay’s hand, Sanjeev made a blunder by not nominating the free ball. Unfortunately, that cost him the title. The results (final): Snooker: Vijay Nichani (CBA) bt Sanjeev Singhi (CBA) 28-61, 55-40, 30-71, 65-25, 74-30. Billiards: Vijay Nichani bt J. Senthil (CBA) 25-14, 15-25, 25-20, 25-16, 25-10, 25-21. Trials postponed
The Coimbatore district under-22 team selection trials scheduled at the Sri Ramakrishna Cricket Trust nets in SNR Sons grounds in Coimbatore on July 5 has been postponed to July 14 (8.30 a.m.) due to wet weather conditions.
