Sri Lanka, May 8 -- By M. Shamil Amit

Priyantha Samarakoon of Army BC clinched the Colombo District billiards title which was the second qualifying tournament when he recorded a comfortable win over his club mate W.D. Madusanka in the final played at the Billiards Association table in Torrington.

In fact cueists from the Air Force BC and Army BC dominated the proceedings as they had seven players qualifying to the quarter finals with Airmen having four and the Soldiers three with the other sole winner being A.M.M. Silmy of Automobile AC.

Two players each from the Air Force BC and Army BC succeeded to enter the semis and the two Army BC cueists Samarakoon and Madusanka brushed aside the challenge to fight it out in the final.
