What another fantastic winning performance from Johnny Nelson in the 2019 Richard Bowen Memorial Individual Competition that was held today Sunday 20th January in the Q.Club, Larne. On his way to victory the "Cueman" won thirty frames for the loss of only nine beating evergreen team mate Bill McIlroy Sr in the Final by 6-2. But what is most remarkable is that Johnny has never lost a match in this event. He has entered it five times and won it five times, 2001, 2004, 2013, 2015 and 2019. An incredible record indeed !!!
