BURY Snooker Club's Gary Sandiford picked up the prestigious Neville Spivey Scratch Snooker Trophy following his 3-1 triumph over nineteen-year-old Andy Rhodes of Tottington Conservative Club.

The best of five frames final, played at Walmersley Conservative Club, got off to a bad start for the 31-year-old when his young opponent picked up the first frame.

However, Sandiford rallied and stormed to victory by winning the next three frames.
