Cramlington Junior 2 Star Tournament Saturday 1 November 2008

The first ever Cramlington Junior 2 Star tournament which was sponsored by aalco, the UK’s leading metal stockholder, produced one of the best finals seen in the region for some time when Marc Besford of Billingham met Paul Smith of Middlesbrough in the final. Smith won the first game but Besford hit back to take the next two. Smith then narrowly won the fourth to level matters again and took a commanding lead in the deciding game only to see Besford hit back again before the Middlesbrough boy won 13-11.

The cadet boys also produced an exciting final with John Bousfield of Stockton just getting the better of Newcastle ’s Ryan Richardson who had put out Smith in the semi finals.

The junior girls was played on a group basis which saw three girls each win five out of six matches. This meant that the group had to be decided on the results of the matches between the three of them but that still left them level at l match and 4 games each. The ratio of points won to points lost eventually saw Danielle Horsley of Billingham (76-72) declared the winner with Darlington ’s Sarah Robinson (77-77) runner up. Scotland ’s Nadine Wright (72-76) just missed out finishing in third place.

Smith also took the under 13 boys title with victory in the final over Bousfield.

The under 11 boys group was won by James Finlay from Billingham with the runner up being Adam Barlow, also from Billingham.

The cadet girls title went North of the border when Nadine Wright of Dumfries beat Sunderland ’s Eszter Soos in the final.

The girls under 11 and under 13 groups were both won by Rebecca Richardson of Thornaby.
