A Successful Defence for Brumby!!!
Ian Brumby made a triumphant defense of his Mersey Masters Title after defeating Wayne Brown in the final 5-2.
Brumby had earlier defeated Nathan Morris in the semi final 4-2 while Brown defeated John Wignall in the other semi-final 4-1.
Brumby\’s victory added to last year\’s success aswell as his titles in 2010 and 2013 making him a 4 time winner of the event, the most successful player since it\’s inception in 2010. His victory also signifies a fantastic year adding this title to the Liverpool Championship won back in September. Ian has now won 3 of the last 4 Merseyside major events.
Leroy Williams Wins Again!!
Leroy Williams\’ domination of the World Disability Billiards & Snooker continued this month with another emphatic victory in the Stockport Open.
His 4-0 victory over Christopher Goldsworthy in the Group 6b final in Stockport ensured Leroy\’s 3rd victory in a row and an incredible 5th victory in just 12 months. Leroy is without doubt Number 1 ranked in his category at the moment and he will take this confidence into the Belgian Open in March.
Keep up the good work Leroy!!
Champion of Champions Final Decided!!
A repeat of the Ormskirk individual final will take place in the Champion of Champions final on the 2nd of February as Gareth Hibbott and Paul Williams both got through to the final of the event last Sunday at George Scotts.

Mersey Masters 2020 Continues This Sunday!!
The main group stages of the Mersey Masters gets underway this Sunday. 48 players will congregate on George Scott\’s to determine who will win the first Major title of this decade.
4 players will qualify from each group, to determine the last 32 of the competition. The second round of group stage matches will be played on the 9th February.
Can anybody stop Ian Brumby defending the title he won in 2019, or can John Welsh win a second major in a row. Or will there be a new name on the trophy this year.
