Shirlon Spooner emerged victorious in the Cue Sports Barbados 10-Ball Individual Pool Championship, held last Sunday at REO Billiards and Sports Lounge in Maxwell.
Spooner claimed the top prize of $2 500 and the championship trophy after defeating Cyprian Graham 11–6 in a keenly contested race-to-11 final.
The two finalists rose above a field of 60 competitors, who initially competed in an eight-zone round-robin format. The top players then advanced to a single-elimination knockout round that determined the final standings.
Graham earned $1 500 as the runner-up, while Winston Benjamin secured third place and a $800 prize. Kyle Goddard finished fourth.
Rounding out the fifth to eighth positions were Curtis Chow, Shane Sealy, David Mapp, and Daniel Hinds. Rebecka Carter was named the top female player and received $500.
Cue Sports Barbados president Daniel Hinds and secretary Sonia Mayers presented the prizes. The organisation will next host a team 9-ball tournament on July 19, where defending champions Team Rampage will look to retain their title. (RW)
