Big congratulations to GTC snooker members, Simon and Marcos, who have been competing in the prestigious 900 Snooker Legends Season 2, at The Crucible in Reading. Marcos narrowly lost in the final of his section this week, and Simon – one of the youngest players to qualify – missed a place on finals day of his section by just 1 point.

Some of our other snooker legends have battled it out on GTC’s own top quality tables, with Paul “The Magician” winning the Gunnersbury Open title for the third year in succession, in a fast, tight match over five frames against “Hurricane” Henrik. In a tense showdown between the best of the first-round losers, Gerry “The Driver” beat James “Bingo Baller” to win the third annual Gunnersbury Open Plate.

“The Gunnersbury Snooker section is thriving,” says Alfred, the Open tournament director. “We have players of a very high standard, notably Simon who brought a state-of-the-art, heated table to the club, and with our new LED lighting and and recent re-clothing of the tables, we offer a professionally-equipped snooker room and welcoming environment for players of all abilities.”
