Brilliance in Berkshire saw Greene continue a memorable season on the World Seniors Snooker (WSS) Tour – having reached the last five event finals, winning four of them, and also firing in a magical maximum break last month.

The former professional began his weekend with back-to-back whitewash wins over Danny Rydzek and previous event winner Daniel Ward to reach the last eight.

England’s Matthew Ford was the first cueist to take a frame off the eventual champion as he took the opener in their quarter-final meeting on Sunday.

Greene was able to win four of the next five, however, to advance as a 4-2 winner before another whitewash win followed against Stuart Watson to book his place in a fifth consecutive final.

A memorable weekend for Stott had seen him reach his maiden World Seniors Tour event final, having never previously gone beyond the last 16 stage in the previous six attempts.

The 43-year-old had last defeated former professional Philip Williams in a decider to advance to this stage and held his own in the early exchanges of the final as the first two frames were shared.

From there, Greene stepped up a gear and a break of 60 helped the Northern Irishman to a 4-1 victory to earn the title in Reading once more.
