The Wallerawang Sports Club’s minor singles has been decided with victory going to Barry Jackson.
Playing against Jeff Howden it was Jackson who made a good start leading 5-1 but Howden was holding his own as he went to a 10-7 lead.
The scores were level on 14 all.
Jackson made the break to hit the front 23-17.
Leading 27-18 Jackson looked to have the game won but Howden fought back to trail 26-29.
Jackson kept his head and picked up the shots needed to win 31-26.
An interesting point to this win: Barry becomes the third generation of Jacksons after his grandmother Mary and father Steve to win a singles title with the wins coming about every ten years.
