Gordon Wu, who has won this league before,  does it again.  He was the first place seed after the regular season and it certainly was an exciting final against Milad Shojaei.  Milad had jumped out to an early advantage taking the first frame, and was in the driver’s seat in the second frame.  Gordon had to dig in and was able to edge on Milad in the second frame to get his first frame to the good.  Gordon, riding the momentum of the second frame win, to win the third frame as well.  Milad reeling a little bit from the two frames that he just lost, held his ground and fought hard to take the fourth frame on the final black.  Setting up a decider, and unfortunately for Milad the flukes were going in the direction of Gordon.  Gordon took the decider quite easily to win the league trophy!!  Well done Gordon, and great effort by Milad.  As well, thank you to all the players that participated in the CSL.

 

The CSL will return in the fall
