Fernandez Fights Back in Peabody New England 9-Ball Series / Peabody, MA

by Marc Dionne
Twenty-eight of the strongest billiard players in the area came out to play for the total purse of $1,150 in prize money at Country Cue Billiards in Peabody, MA, the weekend of February 10-11. Dave Fernandez proved to be the most determined of them all, winning seven straight matches to reach the finals and defeat his opponent.
After dropping his first match to Rick Gata 7-2, Fernandez had a long fight ahead of him. On the other side of the chart, Rich Ross went up against Randy Labonte in the hot seat match. It went neck and neck for the first ten games until Labonte made a shooting error that allowed Ross to take advantage. Ross won that game and then broke and ran the next rack to win the match 7-5. For 16 racks in the final match between Ross and Fernandez, the lead went back and forth until Ross made a mental mistake, handing the match and title to Fernandez 10-8, making this his fifth win of the season.
Results:
1st Dave Fernandez
2nd Rich Ross
3rd Randy Labonte
4th Shane Cote
5th Ed Derk
Mike Nicaloro
7th Rick Gata
