The Amateur Billiard Player : May 2000

English Boys' County Team Championship

The final of this event was played over three one hour games with the scores aggregated. This obviously favoured the stronger Cleveland contingent, although Lincolnshire had played well in the Southern section, beating last year's winners Northants on their way to qualify for this final.

All three matches were played simultaneously, and with Gamblin and Bean winning their matches by 6 and 16 respectively it was left to Robin Wilson to clinch the match in fine style winning by the massive margin of 480 points and ending with a break of 84 unfinished thus winning the title for Cleveland. Wilson's huge one-hour aggregate of 600 was greater than the total aggregate of the entire Lincolnshire team!
