Regulars at York's Cueball Club in James Street were given a snooker treat by 1997 world champion Ken Doherty and former Grand Prix winner Dominic Dale during the UK Championship.
As part of the promotion with brewers John Smith's, club members Alan Chambers and Kevin Hopper had the honour of playing the UK finalist Doherty, while Dale, who made a 140 break during the second week of the UK Championship, gave an exhibition of trick shots. He also took on three more club members, knocking in breaks of 58, 62 and 76 in the process.
Club owner Gary Penrose said: "It was a great night and everyone enjoyed it."
