Cardiff Handicap Singles, 2012/13

FINAL (best of 5, 11th June, Mackintosh)

TOM CROSS (County Cons, +14) 1

JAY MORRIS (Penarth Road, +14) 3

Jay Morris of Penarth Road won his first Cardiff Handicap title as he beat County’s Tom Cross 3-1 in the final at the Mackintosh. In a tense and slow affair, Tom took an early lead with the help of some misses in the first frame. Jay then took the next with a quite superb 18 clearance to level the match after an hour long frame. The third frame was just as tense with a near re-rack situation but eventually Jay came on top on the blue, before wrapping things up in the fourth frame. Kishan Hirani took the highest break prize for his 73 in the semi-final against Cross.

Highest breaks: Kishan Hirani 73 & 72, Huw Carpenter 63, Jay Morris 61, Ryan Rowlands 57

Players appearing first had home advantage or could choose a CDSL venue of their choice.
