The 2021 National Intermediate Billiards Long-up Championship took place on Sunday 17th October in Celbridge Snooker Club and after a long days play Cork’s Lloyd Myers retained his title having won the last in 2019 that took place before the covid pandemic and his third overall.
In the final he defeated Rathkeale’s Anthony O’Flaherty who has won this event four times previous but was found wanting as Lloyd played strong, solid billiards to take back to Cork the title once more.
