Victorian State Snooker Championship
Congratulations to James Mifsud
Victoria’s STEVE MIFSUD is the 2022 Australian National Billiards Champion after defeating MICHAEL PEARSON in the Final, at the Yarraville Academy, today.
STEVE won the Final by 1545-832, and is a deserving Winner of the “Oswald Sealy Perpetual Trophy”.
Over the course of the Championship, STEVE made breaks of 255, 249, 237, 231, 229, 216, 207, 202 and made 13 more century breaks.
Fellow century-break makers were (Runner-Up) Michael Pearson (from NSW), (Semi-Finalist) Rodney Nelson, James Mifsud, John Schenck and (Semi-Finalist) Joshua Burns (from Tasmania).
The VBSA and the ABSC are extremely grateful to all the players, especially those who travelled from Interstate.
The Yarraville Club provided magnificent facilities, and tremendous support for our Sports over these last 11 days.
We are extremely appreciative of all our Sponsors, and the manner in which they ensure that our Sports continue to grow, and expand into our Communities.
The “live-stream” of the Final is still available on CueballTV on YouTube.

The Final of this year’s Pacific International Billiards, at the Yarraville Club’s Academy, provided one of the most amazing matches in living memory!
Presented in the photograph: Sourav Kothari (L), from India, was playing Rob Hall (R), from England, and the Final was Refereed by Garvin Gray (C), from Queensland.
The Final required the Winner to amass 1500 points, and there was a significant interval when the “leading player” had passed 750 total points, and concluded their “visit” to the table.
In this Championship Final, having amassed 4 century breaks by the Interval, Sourav was leading by 780 points to 223! In most sports, this would be considered an insurmountable lead, but with World-Class Billiards players “No Lead Is Safe”!
After the interval, Rob Hall produced breaks of 177, 78 and 391 (Highest Break of the Championship!) to not only catch Sourav, but to “storm” to a slender lead!
With Rob trailing 1321 to 1422, Sourav was able to produce a break of “78 unfinished” to achieve the win, and be crowned “Champion”!
Rob Hall displayed tremendous fighting qualities to reach the lead in the latter stages of the contest. And Sourav showed incredible steadiness under pressure to finish out with a break of 78!
Congratulations to Sourav Kothari
Replay of the Final is still available on CueballTV on YouTube

The 2022 Victorian Juniors tournament took place on Saturday May 28th at the Brunswick Club.
There were a total of 10 entries and all competitors arrived at the venue with plenty of time to spare. It highlights their passion to play.
After the round robin stages, we were left with:-
The U18’s final contested between Sean Dempsey and Ciaran Dempsey which saw Sean the eventual winner.
The U16’s final contested between Ciaran Dempsey and Dion Romanos with Ciaran lifting the trophy.
The U12’s final where Advay Joshi defeated Mia Macheda.
It was a long day for all of the competitors but they all remained enthusiastic throughout the day and displayed excellent sporting qualities.
Congratulations to: -
Sean Dempsey (2022 Victorian Under 18 Champion)
Ciaran Dempsey (2022 Victorian Under 16 Champion)
Advay Joshi (2022 Victorian Under 12 Champion)
Well done to all competitors on the day. We hope to see you all back next year.
The tournament director was Tony Fridman who was ably assisted by Lynda and Marc Fridman – a real family affair.
Thanks Tony for an excellent tournament and also for all the work you did to get so many entries at short notice.
This tournament was held on Saturday at the North Brighton Club.
A final total of 6 entrants played round robin in two grouops with the winners of each then contesting the semi finals against the opposite group runners up.
Pre tournament favourites Kathy Howden and Caroline Ruscitti ended up in one semi whilst Julie (Watson) McEwan played off against Shelly Ames in the other. Kathy proved just too good for Caroline, overcoming her opponent but only in the final frame. Julie had a slightly easier run to the main event in her semi final despite a very good showing from Shelly.
The end of a long day saw some exceptional snooker in the final with Kathy knocking in an excellent break of 51 early in the match. Julie held her nerve over this onslaught and was able to hold herself together to see out the match and claim the 2022 Championship by three frames to one.
The VBSA would like to thank the North Brighton Club and its members for giving up their venue for the day and for providing such excellent facilities. Thanks also to Jon Moss for coming in to referee a semi final after a morning stint at Brunswick helping out with the junior events and with very pressing commitments at home.
A tiring but rewarding and enjoyable day.
