CSNS held ranking 4 of the season at Doolys Sydney on Nov 18. The Open division of the 8-B all event had a field of 23 players, while the Women's division had 10 participants.
In the Open Division, the final 4 players reaching the Single knockout redraw phase were Bruce Lilly, Jeremy Basque, Ryan Kendall, and Carl Sampson. As one opf the last two remaining undefeated players, Kendall had Jeremy Basque drawn into him from the one loss side. Kendall won the match 5-3 over Basque. The other remaining undefeated player, Lilly, drew Sampson as his first opponent in the redraw phase. Lilly was victorious by a 5-3 scoreline. That set up a final matchup of Kendall vs Lilly, which was narrowly won by Lilly, edging Kendall 7-6 to win the event. Kyle Richard and Dale Brimicombe shared 5th-6th place finishes.
In the womens division, Janet Ritcey went undefeated to the finals, where she met Desiree Marshall. Marshall was coming off a 4-2 win over Brenna Sylliboy in the B-Side final, leaving Sylliboy in 3rd place. In the final, Ritcey continued her roll, downing Marshall 6-2 in the final.
Bruce Lilly was also the lucky contestant to have his ticket drawn in the 10-Ball Break & Run fundraiser competition for his chance at $100 per ball and an overall purse of $1000 if he could successfully run the rack. It was not to be, as Lilly scratched on the break. Lilly earned $54 as a consolation prize.
The next CSNS ranking event will be December 16 at The Rack Bar and Billiards in New Glasgow.
