JERSEY were beaten in the team snooker inter-insular in Guernsey on Saturday night in a sudden-death one-frame decider following a 5-5 draw at the Gremlin Club.
Guernsey champion Adam Shorto was his side’s hero as he beat Jersey’s Gary Britton 79-8 in the play-off, helping Guernsey to regain the Lt-Col RW Randell Challenge Cup.
Shorto opened with a risk-free break of 24 before following it up with a 32. Britton knew the frame was slipping away quickly, but he hardly got a chance to save it. When one did crop up, he missed a long red as he tried to force position on a colour.
Shorto did not let him back in and the gracious visitor offered his hand in congratulation at 1.08 am.
