Great to see Adrian Ridley playing after a visit to Perth for the recent WA State titles and in preparation for the Victorian State championships last weekend July 6 and 7.
Adrian has a stellar list of achievements in the sport including winning the 2018 Oceania Snooker Championship and receiving an invitation to, and playing in, a world championship in England.
He has numerous breaks in the 100’s and plays at a level that the rest can only watch and enjoy.
The handicapping system sees Adrian giving away starts of 90 or more most times he plays, which gives club members a chance to be competitive against him and also watch high level snooker up close.
Best of luck this weekend Adrian.
