Senior Championships

This year a new Senior Champion will be crowned after the defending Champion Brendan O Donoghue was beaten in the qualifying rounds of this year’s event. The 2018 Championship promises to the best in years with so many top players playing at their best and it is almost impossible to call the winner. A number of top junior players will compete against the experienced players plus a number of former Champions for the 2018 Title.

The Championship Last 16 will be played on Friday 11th of May at 5pm and 7pm. The Q-Finals will be played on Saturday 12th at 10am. The Semi Final will be played at 6pm and Final will be played on Sunday the 13th of May during RIBSA Finals Weekend in the Ivy Rooms SC.

Masters Championships

The Final of the Masters Championship will be John Farrell against Rodney Goggins after both came through the qualifiers earlier in the month and the final will be a classic with two fantastic players.

150 Up Billiard Championships

Wayne Doyle will play against Aidan Murray in the 150up senior final while Joe Doheny will face John Kehoe in the Intermediate 150up final and it promises to be close matches.

Long Format Billiards Championships

The Semi Final of the Senior Billiards will see Wayne Doyle playing Eugene Hughes and Aidan Murray against Joe Doheny playing against each other. The Intermediate final will be between James Bateman and Anthony O Flaherty and it is hard to call the winner of both championships.
