The Top 20
The recent Wilson Interiors Hull Open saw a special landmark achieved for World Disability Billiards and Snooker (WDBS) as Group 3 number one Nigel Coton and Tour newcomer Carl Gibson joined a group of 20 players to have made a half-century break in WDBS competition so far.
Since the first tournament held almost seven years ago at the South West Snooker Academy in 2015, over 80 players from across all classification groups have now recorded a break of 30 or better, with 20 having reached 50+.
The 19th was compiled by Coton, during the final frame of his 3-0 victory against Joe Hardstaff last Saturday, before Group 4 debutant Carl Gibson scored an impressive 71 during Sunday’s quarter-finals.
The pair join an illustrious group, listed below with their best WDBS break to date:
- Nick Neale (92)
- Dylan Rees (87)
- Shabir Ahmed (81)
- Dan Harwood (77)
- Mike Gillespie (72)
