Young James is the Master


Massive congratulations to 20 year old James Nesbitt on winning the 2015 NIPA Masters Invitational at the annual event which was held in Potters Pool & Snooker Club, Coleraine on Sunday 14th June. James who qualified for the event by winning the Coleraine League Individual is fast becoming a force to be reckoned with and on his way to victory he defeated Chris Cooke (Ards League Individual Champion), Raymond Stockman (Coleraine League Seniors and Masters Champion), Ryan McKillop (Larne Individual Champion) and Robert Hawkins (Carrick Seniors Champion). Northern Ireland Under 23 Manager Scott Hay will be delighted by James's success as he prepares his team for the 2015 EBA Nations Cup in September. James pocketed £100 for his efforts on the day.
