Stan Moody Takes the Pink Ribbon — Joyce Falls 4–2 After a Century Start; Bausch Bags Joss Stop Four in New Hampshire
Pink Ribbon final — Landywood
Stan Moody completed a strong week at Landywood Snooker Club by lifting the 2026 Pink Ribbon, beating Mark Joyce 4–2 in yesterday’s best-of-seven final (scores on CueTracker).
Joyce came out flying: centuries of 115 and 108 put him 2–0 up before Moody found a reply. Breaks of 97, 56, 52 and 92 turned the match around, and Moody closed it out for the title.
Earlier on finals day Moody edged Stuart Bingham 4–3 in the semis (127 and 109 among Moody’s half-centuries), while Joyce saw off Chris Wakelin 4–2. Bingham’s path had already delivered one of the week’s headline moments — a 147 from 0–2 down against Mateusz Baranowski in the last 16 — but Moody had the last word at Landywood.
USA pool — Joss NE 9-Ball, Laconia
Alex Bausch went undefeated at Winnipesaukee Bar & Billiards over the weekend to claim Stop 4 of the 2026/27 Joss NE 9-Ball Tour — his fourth career title on the circuit and a second win in this calendar year (per AZBilliards).
The $1,500-added field drew 33. Bausch beat Tom Cayer on the winners’ side, held the hot seat after a double-hill scrap with Dan Sharlow, then met Cayer again in the final and won a second straight hill-hill to take the stop. Mike Chandronnait took the Second Chance. Next Joss stop: Brick House Billiards, North Syracuse, this weekend (17–18 Oct).
