Joe's Comments Although seeded one for the tournament, I just didn't adjust to the conditions well enough on the Sunday - despite having breaks of 70,58,47,32 and 31 in my two matches on Saturday. Congratulations on a tenacious effort to Michael for finally winning the Rooty Hill Masters - his previous best result was runner-up to Quinten Hann. Ron Shepherd Memorial Billiards 27-28 April, Shellharbour Workers Club Tournament Results Quarter Finals Fred Minici def Mick Batelic 153-140 S Damave def P Winston 90-84 Joe Minici def Peter West 170-23 Dobre Ivanovski def Adrian Hinks 199-81 Semi Finals Fred Minici def S Damave 240-79 Joe Minici def Dobre Ivanovski 201-85 Final Joe Minici def Fred Minici 161-121 High Breaks Joe Minici - 119, 104, 100 The tournament was played off the minimum break format - i.e. the player must make a certain break before any points are scored. Joe's minimum break was 50, while Fred's was 9. NSW Open Snooker Championship 22-23 December, Chatswood RSL Tournament Results Quarter Finals Glen Wilkinson def John Wims 4-0 Shawn Budd def Steve Balzer 4-2 Roger Farebrother def Danny Love 4-1 Paul Balzer def Joe Minici 4-2 Semi Finals Glen Wilkinson def Shawn Budd 4-2 Roger Farebrother def Paul Balzer 4-0 Final Glen Wilkinson def Roger Farebrother 5-2 Australian Open Snooker Championship 13-18 November, 'Mounties' Mt Pritchard Tournament Results Quarter Finals Steve Mifsud def Phil Mumford 5-1 Glen Wilkinson def Roger Farebrother 5-2 Paul Bunt def Joe Minici 5-4 Steve Ebejer def Michael Tillman 5-1 Semi Finals Steve Mifsud def Glen Wilkinson 6-4 Paul Bunt def Steve Ebejer 6-4 Final Steve Mifsud def Paul Bunt 8-4 High Break Steve Mifsud - 120 15 reds, 15 blacks in the first frame of the final City Of Melbourne Snooker Championship 10-11 November, Brunswick Club, Melbourne Tournament Results Semi Finals Neil Robertson def Steve Mifsud 4-2 Joe Minici def Stan Gorski 4-0 Final Joe Minici def Neil Robertson 5-4 High Break Neil Robertson - 118 Joe's Comments I couldn't be happier with being crowned City Of Melbourne champion. I was never in front on frames in the final until I potted the last black to win 5-4 - after Neil potted a super blue and pink and got good position on the black I was saying to myself that I was very pleased with my performance regardless of being runner-up. Then an extraordinary thing happened - Neil asked the referee to clean the white and black without apparent need. I feel sure this put extra pressure on the shot for him, especially on the match ball. Ironically, the black was identical (although on the opposite side of the table) to the one Steve Davis missed in 1985 to lose the world title - coincidentally, Neil has very similar features to a young Steve Davis. Who said 40 year olds don't win Australian ranking snooker tournaments! Schweppes Pro Am 8-9 September, Blacktown Workers Club Tournament Results Handicaps in brackets Quarter Finals Glen Wilkinson (-35) def Ray Taaffe (Scr) 3-0 David Wright (-15) def Timothy Wu (-35) 3-0 Roger Farebrother (-35) def Nathan White (-10) 3-1 John Wims (-20) def Stuart Duncan (-35) 3-2 Semi Finals Glen Wilkinson (-35) def David Wright (-15) 3-0 John Wims (-20) def Roger Farebrother (-25) 3-1 Final John Wims (-20) def Glen Wilkinson (-25) 4-0 High Breaks John Wims - 102 Stuart Duncan - 76, 59 Glen Wilkinson - 71, 68, 59 Joe Minici - 72 Joe's Scores Defeated Pat Coyle 3-0 Lost to John Wims 3-2 Australian National Snooker Championship 17-19 August, RACV Club, Melbourne Tournament Results Quarter Finals Quinten Hann def Joe Minici Steve Mifsud def Aaron Mahoney Neil Robertson def Glen Wilkinson Stuart Duncan def Steve Ebejer Semi Finals Steve Mifsud def Quinten Hann 5-1 Neil Robertson def Stuart Duncan 5-1 Final Steve Mifsud def Neil Robertson 6-1 High Breaks Paul Bunt - 143 (new Australian championship record) Quinten Hann - 136, 135 Andrew Hicks - 119 Joe Minici - 113 Neil Robertson - 102 Joe's Comments Steve was a very worthy winner who absolutely blitzed all his opposition, including the No. 25 player in the world.

The conditions were not conducive to great snooker, so the matches were hard fought all weekend. I lost the final of this tournament in 1997 to Stan Gorski 5-4 after leading throughout, so I was glad to get up for a win this time. Commercial Club Open Billiards 15-17 June, Commercial Club, Albury Quarter Finals Robby Foldvari def Joe Minici 959-498 Steve Mifsud def Neil Croft 892-703 John Schenk def Wayne Carey 717-703 Matthew Bolton def Nino Psaila 1391-527 Semi Finals Robby Foldvari def Steve Mifsud 1515-256 Matthew Bolton def John Schenk 1006-717 Final Robby Foldvari def Matthew Bolton 1084-833 High Breaks
