Steven Bremar put an end to a two-year drought after being crowned Bermuda Snooker Association Open Singles champion for the tenth time.

The association’s president defeated rival Kyle Williams 4-1 in the final held at Spanish Point Boat Club.

Bremar jumped out to a commanding 3-0 advantage after taking the first three frames 66-26, 67-45, 59-29 to move on the brink of clinching the first-to-four-points series.

Williams won the fourth frame 58-37 to finally get a foothold in the contest before Bremar came storming back to take the next frame 44-41 and seal victory.

Bremar, who is also captain of Warwick Workmen’s Club’s league team, is thrilled to regain his place atop the singles pecking order.

“It’s always a pleasure to be No 1, that’s the aim,” he told The Royal Gazette.

“The aim is always to try to come first or be as challenging as you can.”

The experienced player said the best-of-seven final was tougher than the score suggests.

“It wasn’t a walkover I can tell you that,” he said. “It was a very competitive match.

“Kyle is a good player who is coming along real good. He’s very competitive and calm and you have to play each ball on its merit.

“I met him on the circuit probably ten years ago and now he’s competing right beside me.

“I have to play each match as it comes because these guys are just so competitive and they want to win.”

Bremar said achieving glory at the age of 64 against younger opponents made the feat all the more special.

“To still be playing after 30-odd years and still be as competitive as I am is a major achievement,” he said.

“It’s also a major achievement to win this tournament ten times no matter how old or young you are. Ten is a good number.”

Bremar’s latest success arrives on the back of guiding Warwick to Mike Zimmerman Team Challenge Cup glory this season along with team-mates Pam Qudaroy, Steven Tucker and son Steven Jr, Zane DeSilva and the late Gary Bascome, who dethroned defending champions Sandys Boat Club 3-2 in the final.

“It’s always an honour to be able to hold that trophy because Mike represented Warwick and we played on the same team,” he said.

“For a trophy like that as a memorial, what better team to win it than Warwick? You always want to be able to represent your fellow players and the prestige of the tournament.”

Bermuda International Pool League cofounder Bascome, who represented Warwick in the earlier rounds of the competition, passed away in January from cancer.

“It was Gary’s last tournament with us,” Bremar said.

“He never made it to the finals, but we played a game with Gary at Spanish Point Boat Club to take us through to the next round.”

Bascome was inducted into the 2026 Valley National 8-Ball League Association (VNEA) Hall of Fame after his death in recognition of more than three decades of commitment to the sport and more than 50 years as a player.
