The Brian & Keith Bowser Handicap Doubles final was held on Friday afternoon 21 March between Norb Stampfer & Roland Glouche and Andy Ward & Anthony Orton.
Norb and Roland received 15 points start per frame after handicapping calculations.
Whilst both pairings made steady progress with some excellent play to make the final, these final frames were close and could have gone either way.
Norb & Roland sunk the colours that mattered most to go one frame up.
This was followed by a frame with the consensus being the black in particular, was afraid of the dark.
Leaving Norb & Roland slightly ahead coming into the colours when Andy & Anthony caught up during an excellent exchanges of safety shots and potting of anything not left safe enough. Then it was Roland who sunk the final ball, in a slow but well-timed long roll of the cue ball into the black close to the top left-hand pocket.
Congratulations to All on a hard-fought match ending with Norb and Roland winning the 2025 Brian & Keith Bowser Shield Handicap Pairs Snooker final 2-0.
