Sunday 14 October 2007
 2007 APN National Champion Jonathan Mathers in action during the final in Solihull. Nothing else Mathers as Jonathan lasts the distance.
The superb Rileys Solihull club was the outstanding venue for the final APN National Tournament and naturally the free entry event with a whopping £1,500 prize fund was well attended as expected.
It was a superb day of action but the cream rose to the top as reliably as the sun rises in the sky, and after a very long day of battle, Jonathan Mathers and Craig Osborne were the two stratospheric finalists doing battle into the small hours.
Both players showed signs of fatigue that would be affecting their game and concentration, but this is the stuff that sorts the men from the boys, and these two know the score as well as any other seasoned pool player.
The final was a close affair that could have gone either way as the scores of these two top handicapped players rose "neck and neck", until towards the end of the match the most lengthy run of sheer bad luck (or poor play) rode roughshod over Osborne's fortunes as he repeatedly snookered himself shot after shot after shot.
His frustration was clear to see as he thumped the table with his fist as yet another unbelievable "self hook" materialises as the balls slow to a stop after his latest shot.
Mathers didn't need chances like that, but he wasn't going to waste them either, as he meticulously planned and methodically executed each shot, skillfully maintaining his emotions and concentration to take the title of APN National Champion 2007.
"Read more" for the details.
The prize money was awardeded as follows: winner £600, runner up £300, semi-finalists £150, and quarter-finalists £75.
