Wilson and Burns scoop doubles title

Karl Wilson and John Burns are the Bermuda Open Doubles champions after roaring back from an early setback to win at the Royal Hamilton Amateur Dinghy Club.

The duo overcame a sturdy challenge from Peter Bromby and Martin Siese in the race-to-three encounter.

Despite Bromby still having “sea legs” after competing in a sailing event before the snooker match, he and his partner Siese won the first frame 60-32. 

However, that would be the only one the pair would win as Wilson and Burns sailed to victory.

Wilson and Burns won the second frame 59-22 and while Bromby had a break of 32 in the third game, it was not enough as they were defeated 71-45.

Wilson and Burns closed  out the match in the fourth game 57-42.

Meanwhile, a reminder to all that the Bermuda Snooker Association prize presentation and dinner will be held at Warwick Workman’s Club Hall on Saturday, April 27 at 7pm. 

Tickets are $15 per person and all are welcome. Please contact any of the Committee members to reserve your tickets. RSVP by the end of today.
