‘AULD ENEMY’ CLASH
 |
England were the runaway winners of the first ‘Auld Enemy’ clash between England and Scotland at the Northern SC, Leeds. The hosts were dominant in all categories, winning 109-19 in what resembled a cricket score rather than a snooker match.
Three local players made their England debuts during the event, Sanderson Lam (pictured front row, far right) represented the Under 14s as a wildcard, while Jake Nicholson and Luke McEvoy played in the strong Under 16s team. Nicholson (back row, far left) and McEvoy (next to Nicholson) will also represent England in the Home Internationals at Pontins, Prestatyn in September.
Craig Steadman (not pictured) impressed for the mens team with back to back total clearances of 134 and 138, the highest of the weekend.
