Billiards enthusiasts were given a treat when top professional Dave Causier played representatives from each of the York clubs tonight in an exhibition at Heworth Conservative Club.
Causier, a three times winner of the UK Professional Billiards Championship, saw off four opponents – making a 179 break in the fourth match. Richard Stroughair (Fulford) scored 29 points against the champ, Ken Taylor (Acomb) 53, Mark Winskill (Heworth) 16, and Tim Fillingham (Bootham) 18, as Causier showed off his skills.
In the final challenge, against the organiser and York professional Gary Rogers, Causier reached the 300 points target with breaks of 70 and 227. Rogers scored 18 points. A charity raffle raised £177, which will be donated to a cancer research fund being organised by Mathew Sutton (the current English amateur champion) who has been diagnosed with the disease.
