Oceania Mens Snooker Championship 2016

Slightly disappointing no competitors from Papua New Guinea this time, but Australia, Fiji and New Zealand represented, 80 players entered.

Fijis top player Deepak Bala went out in the Last 32, losing 3-1 to Joe Minici, whilst at that stage Ekachai Hormhuan scored an upset win, 3-2 against fellow Aussie Hassan Kerde. Less surprising Last 32 losses for former pro Glen Wilkinson against Paul Thomerson, Shannon Dixon against Kurt Dunham and Jayme White against James Mifsud.
