Snooker ace reaches quarter-final of Euro Championships


BY ROSS RYAN

John Torpey from College Avenue, Moyross reached the quarter-finals of the European Snooker Championship yesterday, narrowly losing 5-3 to Roy Stolk from the Netherlands.


He won all of his seven group matches to reach the last 32 of the competition. He then defeated Tero Suvanto from Finland 4-2 in a closely contested match. In the last 16 the he met Limerick's Mario Fernandez, who was last year's beaten finalist. John beat Mario by five frames to three. Unfortunately John bowed out at the quarter-final stage but he still made Moyross proud.
