Daniel Lee - winner of the W.A.A.M.A.D. Player's Championship
Lee Starts the Year With a Bang!
12 players arrived at Aylesbury for the 2019 W.A.A.M.A.D (formally GNO) Players Championship. We had a few regulars missing, including chairman Tony Southern due to injury, and Press Officer Matt Lester due to another engagement.
This event saw the first running of our new triple elimination format, which guarantees all players at least 3 matches for their entry fee, and also to play for a guaranteed prize pot of £700.
The early stages threw up some great clashes. A dramatic encounter between Craig Welsh and Frankie ‘Hot-wheels’, which saw Welsh take a 7-5 victory.
Other first round action saw Darren Taylor beat Ifakhar Hussain 7-2, Dan Luton beat Adam Pearson by the same score, and Gary Swift beat the spokesman Keith Hance 7-3.
Among the heavyweights “the Sandman” Roy Kimberley survived an early scare against Welsh, Kimberley coming through 7-6. Daniel Lee started the season with a 7-2 win over Swift, while No 1 ranked, Dinsmore beat South Yorkshire’s Taylor 7-4.
In the winners qualification round Dinsmore beat Dave Beaumont 7-2, and Kimberley whitewashed Lee 7-0.
In the losers side, later stages, Luton beat Gillen 6-2, but lost 6-1 to Lee, Welsh beat Swift 6-4, but was then whitewashed 6-0 by Beaumont.
In the 5th/6th playoff, Luton beat Welsh 6-4 in a close game.
Gary Swift - Challenge Event Champion
In the 3rd loss side (Challenger event) semi finals, Gillen has a walkover v Adam Pearson and Swift, swiftly despatched Taylor 5-1, and then won the final 5-2 against his old pal Gillen.
The semi-final draw for the main event took place early the next morning, and we were back underway. Lee inflicted a heavy 7-3 defeat on Dinsmore and Kimberley won a close encounter with Beaumont 7-5.
It was to be Lee and Kimberley who would again meet in the final, with Lee desperate to revenge his earlier whitewash.
The match turned out to be almost a reverse of the earlier game, with Lee dominating to win 7-2.
