Alain Robidoux Invitational 2013

Postby roy142857

Sad to see the declined state of Canadian snooker really, but saw this interesting result, part of Alain Robidoux's attempts to revive interest. The event ran 28th Feb - 3rd March in Quebec, prize money total was 10,000 Canadian dollars. In the second round Canada's (somewhat non-participatory) Pro Tour player, Floyd Ziegler, lost 5 - 3 to Jeff Kennedy. Other results:

Quarter finals
Gilles Boismenu 5 - 3 Bob Chaperon
Cliff Thorburn 5 - 2 Jason Williams
Jeff Kennedy 5 - 2 Rodney Cuillerier
Alain Robidoux 5 - 4 Andre Roy

Semi Finals
Cliff Thorburn 5 - 2 Gilles Boismenu
Alain Robidoux 5 - 0 Jeff Kennedy

Final
Alain Robidoux 5 - 2 Cliff Thorburn
