Ace
cueist Saleh Mohammad,
will shortly be honoured for
his 147 break, recorded in the
24th Asian Snooker
Championship 2008 in Dubai
earlier this month. The
Pakistan Billiards and Snooker
Association (PBSA) has planned
to host a reception in his
honour in which he is expected
to receive cash awards from
the Association itself and a
few other philanthropists for
registering the first-ever
break of 147 in the
24-year-old history of the
Asian Snooker Championship. |

Ali Asghar
Valika, President of the PBSA said that the officials of the national body had approached quite a few institutions and individuals for mustering their support for Saleh, who has made the country proud with his record-breaking feat.
“The PBSA has done it in the past as well. We approach the patrons of sports and convince them to recognise the cueists for bringing laurels for the country,” the PBSA President believed.
“The Asian Confederation of Billiards Sports (ACBS) has already presented him a special cash award of US$1,000 while the UAE Billiards and Snooker Association gave him US$5000 in cash besides presenting a watch worth 5000 Dirham for Saleh’s perfect break of 147,” Asghar Valika recalled. Saleh got off to a sensational start by cracking the magnificent break of 147 on the opening day of the Asian Championship.
