CORNWALL WIN AFTER 100 YEARS
Posted: 28th February 2011
Cornwall A defeated pre-event favourites Cleveland in the final of this years event which was hosted by Nuneaton’s Attack Snooker
Centre, to become National Inter County Team Champions - a title Cornwall last won in 1908. Cleveland had won this event an
outstanding 8 times in the last 12 years, with this years team of Billy Bousfield, Darren Kell and Mark Hatton winning the event
themselves no less than 4 times in the past 6 years. However the Cornish team of Charlie Gay (St Day), Chris Mitchell (Dobwalls)
and David White (Bude Social Club) were victorious despite Cleveland's Mark Hatton recording his 3rd century of the day, a fine 138,
during his loss to Chris Mitchell. Cornwall’s B team of Geoff Lingard (Camelford) Derek White (Menheniot) and Steve Downing (Clinton
Social Club Redruth) also had a good day after losing two games to one in the preliminary round of the main event against Norfolk A
but went on to get to the plate final losing out to Yorkshire A.
