Welcome from the President of the Australian Billiards & Snooker Council

On behalf of the Australian Billiards & Snooker Council I am pleased to welcome you all here to the Yarraville Club for the Australian National & Open Billiard Championships. The Winner and Runner-up from the Nationals will both have the opportunity to represent Australia at the WBL World Championships later in the year. Special thanks go to Jason Colebrook, Adam Wyard & Ian Dale for their tireless efforts in ensuring these Championships will be played. To the Directors of the Yarraville Club for their support, and Billiard & Snooker Club members for giving up their tables for these Championships. Thanks

to the Victorian Government for their support and the VBSA for their contribution. To the ‘Billiard Enthusiasts’ that have also supported these Championships we are very grateful and to Alcocks for preparing the tables. In addition recognition must be paid to the Referees, some of who have travelled long distances to assist in these Championships and work exceptionally hard throughout the Championships. We must record our thanks also to our Sponsor of Record CL&S, to Mal & Ray Atwell and their entire team who always assist our sport. It is their unstinting support, both financially and ‘in kind’ which enables us to present such spectacles for all to enjoy. I hope you are all able to play to your best ability, and wish all the players the very best of luck. Barrie Jones President, Australian Billiards & Snooker Council

History of the Australian Billiards Championships The Australian National Billiards Championship was first played in 1906, and has been played every year since (except during World Wars 1 and 2). This makes it one of the oldest prizes in Australian Sport. For most of its history the championship field was entirely made up of the various state billiards champions, all of whom had to be amateurs. It often comes as a surprise to those outside the sport that the great Walter Lindrum never won an Australian National Billiards – he was a professional. During the sport’s golden years, the championship was dominated by three great amateur players: Bob Marshall (19 wins), Jim Long (6 wins) and Tom Cleary (4 wins). Bob Marshall retired from competitive play in 1970, but in 1985 at the age of 76, he came out of retirement to again win the Australian championship. He was runner-up in the world championship that same year.

The Oswald-Sealy trophy, presented to the winner of the Australian National Billiards Championship, is an historical artifact in its own right, carrying the name of the champions since 1957. Cyril Hamilton Oswald-Sealy, after whom the trophy is named, was Treasurer of the Australian Amateur Billiards Council from 1935 to 1958. He also held the position of Secretary in 1935 and President in 1949. On his retirement from the Treasury in 1958 he was appointed the inaugural patron of the Council, a

title he held until 1984. In 1986 the National championship was, for the first time, opened up to all comers – any Australian player could enter. Bob Marshall won it again! It has been an open entry event ever since.In recent years the event has been dominated by Matthew Bolton. He won 8 national titles in a row (the most by any player ever) until injury kept him out of the 2012 championships. In 2001 the Australian Open billiards was added to the calendar – open to players from all countries. It has been won by Australians (Matthew Bolton 3 times, Steve Mifsud twice, David Collins twice, and Joe MInici once); and has also been won by international players (Pankaj Advani once and Peter Gilchrist twice). This year the Australian Open Billiards has its largest field ever.
