Boteju
holds on to No.1 snooker ranking
Reigning
national snooker champion Susantha Boteju of YMCA evaded
threats from his
counterparts to regain his place in the national listing
at the ongoing ranking tournament held among the top
16 snooker players in the country at the Billiards &
Snooker Association headquarters at Reid Avenue yesterday.
However Boteju will have to face Ryan Somaratne of Otters
in his final 7-frame match in the final round at 4.00
pm today while Prasanna Pushpakumara of YMBA and Pani
Somaratne of Health Sports Club will compete in another
final round match.
“I
have won all my matches with heavy margins. At the moment
my position as the No.1 snooker player in Sri Lanka
is secured. If Ryan (Somaratne) can create an upset
he has a chance of becoming No.2. but Pushpakumara has
played better in the tournament. I will not take Somaratne
lightly,” Boteju said after he won the first two
matches against other group leaders.
