HEWORTH'S Carl De Pasquale won the Hylton Fosters Billiards Individual Knockout Cup for the first time after edging Acomb's Roland Cox 165-163 in a tense final.
The semi-finals and final were all played at Bootham.
In the last four, De Pasquale (+50 handicap) edged Acomb's Dan Potter (-5), last year's champion, 165-160, while Cox (+65) beat Fulford's Tom Lewis (+55) 165-150 after getting off to a good start with small breaks building a useful lead.
Both finalists were seeking their first cup win and the final became very defensive. Cox needed only two for victory but De Pasquale clinched the title with a seven break.
