Chandigarh, March 24

Led by Sourav Kothari, ONGC blanked IOCL to win the billiards title in the XIII PSPB Inter-Unit Billiards and Snooker championship here today. 

In the first game, ONGC’s Rupesh Shah established his stronghold over Dhvaj Haria of IOCL with the help of a century break and reached 179 points. 

He then managed to register an unfinished break of 129 in the second game to win the match 200-179 and give his a 21-point advantage. 

Kothari then put up another stellar performance as he started with a break of 138 at the top of the table. He beat Aditya Mehta of IOCL 201-35 before Alok Kumar helped the team win another 15 points to clinch the team title. Kumar beat IOCL’s Brijesh Damani 16-5. 

Grand double for Kothari

Kothari, meanwhile, beat Manan Chandra of BPCL to clinch the snooker title.  

Kothari, who had yesterday won the billiards event, took an early lead but Manan put up a brave front in the second before he squandered his chance to level the score after missing a regulation pink pot. Kothari thereafter made no mistake as he wrapped the third frame 71-5 to win the title.
