HILLHOUSE and Birkby’s Kevin Hirst won the Holme Valley Snooker Open Championship when he came back from being two frames down to beat Honley Conservative’s John Mellor 4-2 at Shepley’s Village Social Club.
Mellor had the highest break of the evening – a 54 that helped him to victory in the second frame – but Hirst fought back with breaks of 31, 24 and 41 to take the title.
The frame scores were 53-55, 11-79, 54-47, 46-41, 67-41, 74-23.
