AN EIGHT-year-old from Eastleigh has won his second school holiday competition at Chandlers Ford Snooker Club.

O’Shay Scott landed the Ken Jones May Half-Term Cup after 20 hours of snooker-based activities spread over five days.

Scott, who also won the February Half-Term Cup, led the rankings going into the last day – the 250th day of school holiday competitions run by World Snooker coach Tim Dunkley.

Runner-up Harry Joyce (Eastleigh) needed to top the eight-man robin group and hope that his title rival finished bottom.

But Scott dispelled any lingering doubts by winning six of his seven frames - only losing to third-placed Riley Ellis (Wootton Bassett).

The champion recorded breaks of 24 and 22 during the week and then added a 30, three below his highest, in the Eastleigh & District Under-19 League.

Charlie Pringle's 42 was the week's highest. Four-year-old William Thomson equalled his personal best of nine.

The competition is named in memory of the late Saints star Ken Jones, a member of the team that first won promotion to the old First Division at the end of the 1965/66 season and then coached snooker for more than 30 years in Chandler’s Ford.

Scott also competes on the Cuestars South of England Under-21 Bronze Tour He made his debut in Havant in February and finished 11th in the rankings after appearing in half of the ten legs.

The next school holiday competition is the Rotary Summer Cup which runs from 11am-3pm on 28 weekdays from July 26 to September 1.

Final rankings: O’Shay Scott 56 pts, Harry Joyce 33, Riley Ellis 29, Oliver Sykes 27, Charlie Pringle 26, William Thomson 25, Connor Benzey 19, Oliver Humphries 11, Joe Hampson 8, Ryan Hughes 5, Steven Hughes 5, Lee Cooper 4.
