National Billiards

Ace cueist Pankaj Advani defended his national billiards title -- his 11th in the tournament -- after he defeated his PSPB teammate Dhruv Sitwala 5-2 in a best of nine games final.

The Wushu Association of India and the Snooker and Billiards Association have become the latest to join the chorus to oust Ramachandran by calling a Special General Meeting.

Pankaj Advani, who won the senior National billiards on Saturday, carried his sublime form into his pet snooker event as he thrashed Akshay Kumar, Sukumar Barman, Ankit Kariwala and Assem Arora by identical scoreline of 3-0 to top group A table.

In the sub-junior (Under-19) final, Doyel Dey edged past Kaivalya V. of Karnataka 69-55 while in the junior (U-21) title round, she beat Mariam Agnish of Tamil Nadu 67-46 at the Bengal Rowing Club.

Pankaj Advani faced some resistance from Dhruv Sitwala but managed to emerge triumphant.

Holder of 12 world titles, Pankaj Advani had a minor blip as he lost two frames but he held his composure en-route to a 4-2 win over Siddharth Parikh of Railways.

Pankaj Advani faced some resistance from his Petroleum Sports Promotion Board colleague Brijesh Damani but was quick to bounce back to post a 4-1 win. Advani was one up but Dhamani took the second frame to bring the game on even keel.

Pankaj Advani and Ashok Shandilya have been at their best so far, having lost just one frame each in the group stage.

Asian Games gold medalist Ashok Shandilya was forced to miss his matches at the National Billiards and Snooker Championship in Kolkata, after an unidentified miscreant set his car's tyre ablaze in the early hours of Sunday.

Pankaj Advani gave a flawless display to register comfortable wins over Subodh Lahiri of Uttar Pradesh and Telengana's Ranjit M.N.

As a gift to the nation on Diwali, Advani conquered Singapore's Peter Gilchrist 6-2 in the finals of the shorter format of billiards on Friday, the 150-up billiards championship.

The All India Football Federation was bestowed with the honour ahead of the other nominees, which included National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), Federation of Motor Sports Club of India and the Billiards and Snooker Federation of India.

India can have a maximum of six entries. The top four of Gwalior Nationals have got direct entries and the above four players will be vying for the fifth and sixth slots.
