But former 6 red national championship, Shivam Arora, the mercurial player who is based in Pune bettered the performance of Brijesh by one point in his match with Ranjit Mannava of Telengana when leading by an identical margin of 3-0 frames finally touched his nadir to deliver a break of 73 in the fourth frame, clearing tthe entire gamut of 6 reds, covering it with the required colours and then sweeping the table by pocketing all the balls from the yellow to the black at the colours stage chipping in a superb 73 points break.

Veteran Kan Kan Shamsi of Uttar Pradesh had to use all his experience to get the better of the Gujarat boy, Jenil Patel In six well fought out frames. With the score at par after four frames at two all, Kan Kan played good percentage snooker to quell the challenge of Jenil who failed to cope up to the pressure of the occasion, wilting under at the end of the match.

Pony tailed, strong potting machine from Maharashtra, Manav Panchal had to strain his nerve, experience and his knowledge of snooker before he could overcome Ravish Arora of Punjab. With the match evenly poised at three frames all, Manav finally struck form in the deciding seventh frame to put paid to the hopes of his rival winning by 41-19, 41-20, 18-28, 00-45, 25-39, 51-00 and 56-17 points.

Keerthana potting quite confidently and positioning her cue ball with felicity was more than a match for Anupama in the battle for the title.

The first to draw attention was the seasoned campaigner from Prayag Raj, Vinayak Agarwal.

Vinayak won the ” Cliff Hanger “by 47-76, 24-57, 78-29, 58-48, and 57-55 points on the decisive black ball to enter the main round.
Then followed The young Junior player from Lucknow, Vishwajeet Mohan who fought a tooth and nail five frames we’ll contested tie with Akram Khan. With the match tied at two frames all, it was anybody’s game till the last.
However, Vishwajeet kept his cool on the colours stage to wrest the frame and match for an entry into the main rounds of the Senior snooker event which starts tommorrow morning.
Playing against Sean Davis of Karnataka, UP snooker champion from Lucknow, Anuj Bhargava counted on his good experience and temperament to overwhelm his rival in four frames.
Leading by two frames to one, Anuj appeared to be in the drivers seat but Sean rallied very well to bring the frame to the black decider.
This is where Anuj was very lucky when Sean in trying a safety of the black went in- off gifting the frame and match to Anuj who won by 64-53, 41-47, 56-47 and 56-53 points to gain an entry into the main snooker round.

Meherzad Bhagwagar of the hosts was right on cue as he out potted talented youngster from Maharashtra, Sumehr Mago in a six frames battle which saw fierce  competition between the two cueists.
With the score level at two frames all, Meherzad came into his own pocketing the balls with assurance to wrest the fifth frame but Sumehr fought tooth and nail in the sixth frame.
The frame was now on the final black ball on the colours stage when the victor sank the decisive black ball to win the tie by 39-22, 23-33,28-18,03-37,43-00 and 47-40 points and move into the next round.
Pondicherry cueist Raj Mohan who lost his first match last evening, made amends, as he gave an improved performance to dominate the player from Goa, Ravi Kamble in four straight frames by 58-27, 41-04, 40-37 and 27-15 points.
Trailing by 0-2 frames, Ravi had a good chance to draw back in the third frame but he floundered on the final black hurdle and Rajmohan made no mistake in pocketing the decisive black to win the frame and then did not look back as he added the fourth frame for a fine victory.
Taaha Khana of Maharashtra who has an unorthodox method of cue-delivery spoiled the party for Gujarat youngster, Siddhant Patel even as the parents of Siddhant looked on disconsolately from behind the glass curtain, so well conceived by the organizers.
Taaha potted some unbelievable shots from just nowhere, as he cleared all the balls from the yellow to the black ball on the colours stage of the first frame.
With the youngster lapsing into errors from positions of strength, Taaha easily wrapped up the second and third frames for a 3-0 lead.
Siddhant finally did put up a sembalance of a fight in the fourth but Taaha closed shop with some crucial pots at the vital stages of the frame to take the frame and match by 35-22, 33-01, 36-02 and 34-17 points.

Midhun faltered yet again in the fifth leaving Vidit with a chance, and the victor did not disappoint as he unleashed a break of 35 to seal the frame and match.
Abhishek Ahuja of Delhi playing with a lot of composure was too hot for Malav Parikh of the hosts, coming out trumps in four straight frames. Breaks of 44 and 41 in the third and fourth frames were the highlight of this match as he triumphed by 40-15, 31-08, 44-00 and 41-00 points in another one sided tie.
Even so the matches which went to the wire and were difficult to chose the winner till the last stage, were the matches between Vishwajeet Mohan of Uttar Pradesh Vs. Mohsin Acharya of Gujarat and the match between Arvind Kumar of RSPB and Senketh Mutha of Maharashtra.
The first one saw Vishwajeet open up a lead of three frames to one against Mohsin, but the latter fought back valiantly to take the next two frames  to restore parity at 3-3 frames.

Even as the Qualfying section of the Seniors snooker of the Manisha Vascon 2020 National billiards & snooker championship being organized by BSAM under the auspices of the BSFI commenced here at the PYC Hindu Gymkhana, it was move over the celebrity Men of billiards and the promising boys of the 22 balls game.
The proud daughters of Indian Cue Sports took their due place on the centre stage of the 30 days extravaganza of cue sports.
Suddenly there was a hush in the environment. The ambience of the newly converted billiards Hall was witness to the feline grace of young girls from all over the country. Their coyness, the natural beauty of their carriage, their zeal for the articulations of strokes on the ” Green baize” more than made up the peace and tranquility which prevailed as the damsels with their prim and proper attire along with their cue suddenly became the focus of all appreciative eyes.
Cometh Thursday morning and two young promising girls on the Horizon of Cue sports in the country, Defending champion, Anupama Ramchandran of Tamil Nadu and the challenger for the Sub-junior girls billiards title from Karnataka, Keerthana Pandian, the best of friends, off the table were face to face for the top honours.
Anupama taking time to settle down set the tone. Keerthana who looked a little off colour on this day could not get herself into her normal groove.
Anupama chalking up breaks of 23 and 27 established a good lead of 90-43 when 20 minutes remained for the one hour match to finish. A break of 29 and Anupama was almost home. Keerthana suddenly found her rythm for a 31 break but it was too late. The bell shreiked that it was all over and Anupama had retained her Sub – junior National girls title.
In the play off for the third and fourth place Sanvi Shah of Madhya Pradesh beat her Indore based mate of Madhya Pradesh to secure the third position while Kanisha Jhurani settled for the fourth place.
Earlier in the semis, Anupama playing with great gusto was consistency personified running away a 215-75 points winner against Kanisha Jhurani while Keerthana notched up a 186-95 points victory over Sanvi Shah to set up a final clash with Anupama in the Final.
The sub junior snooker also began immediately after the completion of the billiards event with some interesting matches.

Pankaj Advani
PUNE 28 th January, 2020:
The ” Golden boy of World billiards, Padma Bhushan, Pankaj Advani of PSPB reasserted his supremacy over his PSPB compatriot, Arjuna Awardee and former World Billiards champion, Sourav Kothari by five games to two in the best of nine 150 points up Manisha – Vascon 2020 National Billiards Championship here at the PYC Hindu Gymkhana.
Pankaj won the titanic battle which did not rise to the expected heights but still was not short of big breaks from both players considering the pressure of the finals. Pankaj  exhibited his tactical play and acumen along with his unquestionable break building mastery. Combining the two skills, scoring and then virtually closing all the last three games with water tight safety, he planned all his moves on the ” Green baize” to a nicety and finally won by 13-150, 152-12, 151-00, 62-150, 150-45, 150-48 and 150-02 points, annexing the Seniors Billiards title of the 87th National championship.
The much awaited clash between the two super Icons of Cue sports of our country began with Sourav compiling a classic unfinished break of 131 to pocket the first game. Pankaj rallied adequately with breaks of 95 and 57 to take the second following up with a superb unfinished 151 break to gain the ascendancy.
Not to be denied, Sourav struck back with a break of 142 in the fourth restoring parity at 2-2. and it looked as if the match would go the distance but the Maestro Pankaj had other ideas.
Pouncing on the chance that came his way, Pankaj made a classy 135 break and played safe when he saw that no shot was on. Wresting the sixth game with a 94 break, Pankaj again froze the collected points and playing safe putting Sourav in a position where he could not score. With Sourav unable to keep his rival at bay, Pankaj again came up with a very useful contribution of 107 repeating the safety ploy when he found that he could not finish the game.
Sourav had no answer to this intelligent, calculated and cagey play to ultimately cave in. Pankaj collected the needed points in this game and with it the game, match and title.
In the play off for the third and fourth place, Dhwaj Haria was too hot for his PSPB mate, Brijesh Damani and won in three straight games by 150-71, 151-128 and 152-00 points. Dhwaj had a well compiled effort of 150 unfinished too in the third game to secure the match and the third position.

His sighting, stance, alignment, timing of the motion of the cue just like the wall clock, his pause before striking was rock steady as he chalked up an almost flawless break of 93 missing out on the black ball for what should have been a century left his opponent, DigVijay gasping for breath.
Adding the second frame to his kitty, Kreish gained a healthy lead of 2-0.
DigVijay who is also a great snooker potential was not to be denied when he reduced the margin to 2-1 by pocketing the third frame.
However, Kreish wrested the initiative once again by taking the fourth to go 3-1 frames up.
DigVijay fought tooth and nail in the fifth but a confident Kreish edged out his rival in the exchanges for the black.
Finally Kreish potted the decisive black to win the frame, match and title.
Earlier, Kreish outpointed Strong contender Ranvir Duggal in the semis while DigVijay  had the better of Sumehr Mago of Maharashtra.
Even so in the much hyped last eight round match between promising Rayaan Razmi of Maharashtra and Ranvir Duggal of Chandigarh, it was Ranvir who triumphed by three frames to two in the deciding frame after being 1-2 down, levelling at 2-2 and then producing some great shots to come in sight of smelling victory.
When Ranvir sank the needed Pink into the top pocket, he exulted to the full. His fists clenched, he pumped wildly in the air and in an emotional state thumped the cushions of the snooker table.
Nevertheless his joy was shortlived as Kreish upset the cart of his dreams.
