Lester, who has participated in the British Wheelchair Pool Players Association (BWPPA) circuit for eight and a half years, is now in line to play at the impending World Championships and EPBF European Tournaments. The ex Danum School pupil had beaten the previous best of British, Fred Dinsmore of Ireland, 5-3 in the quarter-finals on his way to success.
He then defeated Welshman Craig Welsh 5-4 before defeating British number three Aslam Abubaker 5-3 in the finishing final match.
“It’s a massive win for me,” stated Lester.
“And it was made all the more extraordinary not just down to who I needed to beat, but it also puts me eighth in the UK positions.
“I am now expected to get invitations to the major worldwide tournaments - though I will need a sponsor if I am going to be able to agree.
“My motivation and ambition for the approaching season is to win more contests,” he added. “Now I’ve got one under my belt, it’s a big monkey off my back.”
Lester’s cerebral palsy ultimately means he requires the use of an electric wheelchair and his left side is affected. He makes use of a cannon aid to make a bridge as he is unable to do this on his own with his hand. His devotion to the sport sees him trek by bus to Barnsley as often as he possibly can to practice and keep himself sharp.
