Junior Ranking Series

Southern Region (Kings Lynn)

Event One – Sunday 21st October 2001

Matthew Sutton (Kettering) won the first of the Southern Area
Ranking Tournaments defeating Jamie Edwards 217-154 in the
final. Fourteen-year-old Edwards had excelled to reach his first final
and shows great promise for the future, however Sutton’s greater
experience served him well in a tight match. With just 5 minutes remaining
Sutton was just 12 points in front, but at this stage he played out time
with an impressive break of 51 to clinch victory

.

Earlier Sutton had made a break of 98 in his 304-89 semi-final win over
Gavin Lewis. Edwards had come through the other semi-final at the
expense of his team-mate Nathan Mann whom he defeated 277-200.
