147 Academy

Every year when I watch Snooker in the Crucible in Sheffield.

I remember back to 2010 when Jason Devaney from Mayo won the Junior Pot Black live on BBC TV.

Fantastic 🇮🇪🏆🇮🇪 memory and something that I will never forget in coaching Jason Devaney to win it.

Having my mentor Terry Griffiths present the cup to Jason made it even more special.

My 147academy had the pleasure of training Haikel Abouda from Tunisia in the SBI Academy in Carlow, Ireland this week. His passion was fantastic, and he worked very hard on developing good fundamentals and learning my Academy drills.
My 147academy wishes Haikel good luck and I hope to see him back in Ireland in future.
