Congratulations go to B Chapman & R Beckham who won the Teesside Snooker Pairs beating M Rhodes & D Craggs 3 frames to 1.

Rhodes & Craggs were penalised 1 frame for late arrival but went on to win the second frame 78 - 0 with a 67 break from Rhodes, frame 3 was a more cautious affair with both teams playing the safety game but a 31 break from Chapman gave them the edge and they went on to win 58 - 48. In frame 4 caution was again the name of the game and with just the coulours left the frame could have gone either way, misses from all the players on the green gave tension to the frame but when Beckham potted this it was just a matter of time before he and Chapman wound it up 67 pionts to 44.
