Bennett & Lane win Handicap Pairs

Savoy’s Mark Bennett and Colin Lane are the 2018 Cardiff Handicap Pairs champions after defeating Mackintosh’s Ronnie Allen and Alan Hurley 3-1 at Taff’s Well Ex-Servicemen’s Club.

The Savoy pair won a scrappy opener on the pink, and then went two up after a classy 48 break by Bennett.

The next was another tight affair which went to the colours, with Hurley potting the pink with the rest to pull one back.

An early contribution from Bennett in the next gave Savoy the advantage, which they never relinquished and eventually wrapped up the win after the Mackintosh pair were unable to get the snookers needed on the colours.

Congratulations to Bennett and Lane who win their first title as a doubles pair, and Allen and Hurley will be looking to make amends when they contest the Cardiff Open Pairs next week.
