Versatile cue ball star's big snooker break was followed by two more tour pool finals

Gray delivered the highest break of the season in the Spalding & District Snooker and Billiards League when knocking in a total clearance of 132. The Bourne Snooker Centre professional plays off a 98 handicap in this competition so had to give scratch player Simon Law a 98 point start. Law broke off and that was the last shot he played.

Gray was playing for the Bourne Pyramid F team who went into the last game of the season at Spalding Consti E needing to win to take the title. His team went on to win. His teammates were Pete Hodgson-Kerry, Carl Gibson, Ian Gibson, Ian Clare and Oliver Player (o28)

Gray barely plays snooker these days, but has become a prolific pool tournament winner.

He picked up £450 for a second-placed finish in a EPA Southern Seniors (Over 50s) event in Maidenhead, losing 7-5 in a high-class final against former World Champion Phil Harrison after wins of 7-1, 7-1, 7-2 and 7-5.

He then won the Berkshire Seniors Open, beating Ultimate Pool pro Dylan Leary 6-4 in the semi-final before taking out Jason Toovey 6-2 in the final to earn another £200. Gray plays in event 2 of the Over 40s tour in Braintree this weekend.
