Judge wins Irish Senior National Title

Michael Judge from the Q Club Wicklow won the 2018 Republic of Ireland Billiards & Snooker Association Senior Championship in the Ivy Rooms Snooker Club in Carlow on the 13th of May 7 frames to 5 in a superb match. 

Both players were looking for their second Irish Senior Title. In the final Michael  and Rodney both put on a fantastic display of snooker and in frame 1 Rodney started off with a 100 clearance in frame one but Judge fought back to win the next five frames to lead 5-1 at the interval.

After the Interval Goggins fought back to win the first two frames to close the gap to 5-3 and then the Wexford man got right back into the match when he won the next two frames to level the match at 5-5.

In frame 11 it looked like Rodney would go ahead but Judge made a superb clearance to steal it on the black to stay 6-5 in front.  Judge won frame 12 and he was not to be denied his second National title 7-5.

The final was live streamed all around the world and the Referee in charge was Shane Mason.
