Well done to Bangor's Brian Crilly on winning the NIPA Seniors Tour Event 1 which was played in The Swift, Carrickfergus, on Sunday 13th September. In the Final Brian defeated Lisburn's Stephen Johnston in a deciding 11th frame after an enthralling match between the current European Seniors Individual Champion (Crilly) and recently crowned European Nations Masters Individual Champion (Johnston).
The next event is on Sunday 4th October and will be held in the Q.Club, Larne. There are still 5 events remaining so plenty of time for new players to enter and get the points needed to finish in the Top 16 and qualify for Finals Day. Players best 4 scores count towards the seeded Finals Day draw.
