The Open Singles Title is headed for an interesting finish in a fortnight’s time (no play on long weekends). After a tight and exciting Round 4, only 7 players from last year’s Top 16 qualified this year. While 3 of the 09 Top 4 still remain, 3 of last year’s successful ACT Team have already missed out.
While Group 3 had a clear 3 frame gap between 4th and 5th, amazingly Groups 1 & 4 came down to the last frame of the day, including a straight shootout between Dean Welsh and Chippa for 4th. But this was nothing compared to Group 2, which had a 3 way playoff for 4th, eventually won by Mick Norton (who had actually lost his last frame which could have seen through clear).
With a number of players making their first Top 16, as well as the good spread of players qualifying from across the Top 50 rankings, ACT is getting stronger every year. The depth is improving with each Tournament and the Top 16 looks to be an extremely tight event if this weekend’s groups are anything to go by.
So come on down to The Maram on the weekend of 19/20 June to see the best of the best battle it out for the 9 places in the State Team. Play will start at 11am both days, with two round robins to be completed day. Not only that, the Top 4 will qualify for the following week’s State Title Round Robin. So they all have plenty to play for…
