By lifting the title, the 2018 World Seniors Snooker (WSS) champion has guaranteed that he will finish first on the official two-year ranking list at the end of the campaign and has therefore qualified for the 2026 edition of the flagship event at the Crucible Theatre in May.
Canavan, from Jersey, denied Greene a fifth title of the series but the former professional from Northern Ireland still looks likely to join him in qualifying for the sport’s most iconic venue.
Forty-two players contested the two-day event and Canavan reached the concluding day of action by defeating Stephen Groves (4-2) and Ian Rose (4-0).
He began the Sunday by overcoming Dean Galbally 4-1 before a top break of 100 saw Canavan beat Steve Crowley 4-2 to set up a title match meeting with Greene.
Greene had made it to a sixth successive World Seniors Tour event final by last downing Matthew Ford 4-1 and only losing a single frame en route.
Canavan was competing in his second final of the season, having made it to at least the quarter-finals of all but one of the previous seven events, and his consistency was finally rewarded as contributions of 61 and 76 saw him get over the line and secure the title.
Congratulations Aaron Canavan!
See you at the Crucible!
Aaron has won this title before, in 2018. The format however was much shorter back then. He was runner-up to Alfie Burden last year. He’s certainly a serious contender for the title this year.
