Jason Bates lit up Division One of the Spalding and District Snooker League on Thursday night with a fantastic 83 break.
Bates (o77) was part of the Consti E team which beat Services C 5-1. He took the first frame, getting the better of Geoff Hemsil (r21).
Although his break is the highest of the season so far, it doesn’t qualify for the trophy as he hasn’t played enough games.
His win was followed with victories from James Kingston (o35), Sean Jeynes (o14) and Martin Ulyatt (o14).
