Peter Udycz

2023 State Billiards Champion

In a repeat of last year’s final, Peter Udycz claimed his 17th SA State Billiards title with a resounding victory over defending champion Arthur Karanis. Udycz, who went into the final as the form player, dominated the match from the outset, quickly establishing a 100-point lead over his opponent and never looking back.
The four hour match play final proved to be an entertaining affair, with Udycz showcasing his impressive form throughout. He notched up eight 50+ breaks, including a top score of 69, while Karanis’s best break was a 50. Udycz’s highest break in the tournament was an impressive 107, and his dominant play cemented his status as the clear favorite going into the final.
Udycz’s win is a testament to his
remarkable consistency over the years. This was his 29th final in 32 years of competing, and no player got close to him in the tournament. Speaking after the match, Udycz credited his success to his improved form, stating that he is currently playing the best he ever played.
The match was expertly scored by Roger Davey, with Tad Babiak serving as the referee. Mark Potter ran the tournament over the weekend, and SnookerSA provided a fantastic venue and playing conditions.
Overall, Udycz’s victory was a well-deserved one, and he stands as  the most successful Billiards players in South Australia’s history. His impressive form and dominance in the tournament are sure to inspire future generations of
billiards players in the State.

Peter “The Great Man” Darby

Former dual State Snooker Champion Peter added a State Billiards title to his impressive cuesport resume.

Peter also had the toughest draw along the way, beating 2 former champions and victory over a formidable Billiards player in the final.

Gary Oxenham was in the semi-finals of the state billiards a couple of years ago and was in fine form going into the final.

Peter’s natural potting ability got him over the line.

Big thanks to Roger Davey for officiating the final.

And SnookerSA for presenting fantastic conditions for the players to play in.

Congratulations Jason Yu defeating Peter Udycz 5 – 3 in a very entertaining Final Jason became the first player to win the Challenger Snooker League and the Championship League Snooker. What make this achievement even better is he did it in consecutive seasons and all by the grand old age of 14 !!!!! Peter Udycz got off to a great start in the match winning the first two frames with breaks of 36 and 40.At this point it looked all one way traffic. Jason settled and started scoring heavier with his oppotunities and with breaks of 34,42,39 and 30 won four frames on the bounce to lead 4 – 2. Peter refused to lay down and won the 8th frame but Jason held his nerve to win a close last frame. Jason has had a fantastic 12 months winning Junior State titles and National titles in Snooker and 8 Ball,as well as the Presidents Cup Billiards and his 2 Snooker league wins. He also represented Australia at the World snooker Championships. What next for this genuine superstar of cue sports? Not the best week for Peter losing the Billiards teams final on Monday night and the Snooker Wednesday. But this legend of a player keeps making and winning finals. Watch out the State Billiards is fast approaching.
