Hanoi dominated snooker while the Ho Chi Minh City squad took wins in eight-ball pool and one-cushion billiards at the Billiards and Snooker Championships in Nha Trang Tuesday.

After losing to the HCMC players in eight-ball pool, the Hanoi team shot brilliant nine-ball snooker in the first round of the tournament.

The all-Hanoi snooker semifinals saw Nguyen Thanh Nam defeat Phan Hoang 7-3, and Duc Nghia defeat Thanh Tung9-7.

Nam continued to play exceptionally and beat a less experienced Nghia 9-2 in the final to win the championship. Hoang came in third.

But the southern squadron proved superior in one-cushion billiards with two of its athletes, Ma Minh Cam and Tran Le Anh Tuan, competing in the final.

Cam showed a wonderful performance to beat Tuan 80-27 to take the championship. Home-team favorite Trinh Van Hien of the central province of Khanh Hoa came in third.

The second round will take place in Ho Chi Minh City next month.
