On Saturday night legendary snooker champions Steve Davis & John Parrot came together for a very special Pro/Celebrity Match to raise funds for LOROS and the Paul Hunter Foundation.

Held at Leicester Grammar School Hall, the evening started in the right “frame of mind” with former player and commentator John Virgo entertaining everyone with a series of trick shots, ably assisted by members of the audience.

Steve Davis and John Parrott then played doubles with Leicester City Legends Muzzey Izzet & Steve Walsh, followed by a match against two of the Winchester Snooker Club’s academy players.

After the interval Steve Davis took on 7 year old player, Westley Cooper and a member of the audience played a match against John Parrott.

The evening finished with a 3 frame match against Indian’s no1 player, Aditya Mehta with Steve Davis winning 2-1.

The auction & raffle raised over £2,700 for LOROS and the Paul Hunter Foundation.

The main organiser, Mukesh Parmar, of the Winchester Snooker Club in Wigston said, "The audience were thoroughly entertained by all the great players and I am so pleased we raised a significant sum for LOROS and the Paul Hunter Foundation".
