Watch for ‘German’ in Triangle snooker

THE old and the new will display their skills on the snooker table this month when an Islandwide Snooker Tournament sponsored by Mr Billiards Ltd and Pepsi Cola Ltd comes off at The Triangle, 23 Aranguez Main Road, San Juan.

Hottest shot around now is Daniel Himraj, 23, who recently won the “Most Promising Player” at a North-South encounter at the Triangle. He is likely to come up against either veteran Carl “German” Christopher, Herman “Mean Machine” Araujo, Mervyn Aqui, Narine Gosine, Johnson “Chinese Chopper” Young Sing and south big gun Alvin Daniel. More than $16,000 is at stake: 1st $7,000; 2nd $3,500; 3rd and 4th $1,500 each; highest break $1,000. Entries close June 10 and the tournament starts on June 24. More information can be had from Shyam “Mr Billiards” Gosine by calling 638-9470, 638-3531, 674-7708 and 780-3997.
