    December Return to Pool’s Most ‘Intimidating’ Venue

    MATCHROOM SPORT can announce that the 2010 PartyPoker.com Mosconi Cup will be taking place at the fabled York Hall, Bethnal Green, London from Thursday 9th to Sunday 12th December.

    Home to the event for a six year period, the Mosconi Cup was last played in the famous East London boxing venue in 2002, when Europe won the trophy following six years of total domination by the USA.

    Following a multi-million pound refurbishment of the York Hall, the PartyPoker.com Mosconi Cup returns for its first UK appearance in eight years.

    One man delighted by the event’s return to London is Finland’s Mika Immonen. A five-time York Hall loser in previous years, Immonen has now established himself as the world’s leading player and will be a front-runner for a berth on the 2010 Euro team.

    ‘I love the fact that we are going back to the York Hall. What could be a more perfect setting for the Mosconi?’ said Immonen.

    ‘No memories in my pool career compare to the York Hall. The atmosphere was electric, and I can't wait to see how it is now. It has been my dream to go back there...bring it on..!

    Matchroom Sport chairman and Mosconi Cup promoter, Barry Hearn, is looking forward to recreating the wild atmosphere that made the East London venue so charismatic.

    ‘The York Hall has a special place in the history of the Mosconi Cup and it’s fair to say that at times, it was the game’s most intimidating arena,’ commented Hearn.

    Korea's Yu Ram Cha in action the 2010 Amway WPA Women's World 9-Ball Open

    Korea's Yu Ram Cha wins in Taiwan

    A nerve shattering close call in the quarter-finals resulting in a victory by the narrowest of margins after a hill-hill battle with the USA's Vivian Villareal, was just one of the close calls that Korea's Yu Ram Cha faced on her way to the top of the podium in this most prestigious of annual events, once again sponsored by Amway and hosted in the delightful Taipei City, Taiwan.

    Surprisingly for such an international field, the final match turned out to be an all Korean affair, with Yu Ram Cha meeting compatriot Ga Young Kim. This time it was not so close and the young super-star of pool made short work of her opponent with a decisive 11-5 victory.

    Snooker clubs giant Rileys and legend O’Sullivan team up to tap into talent

    Rileys, the UK’s leading cue sports operator, have teamed up with green baize legend Ronnie O’Sullivan to find the future star of snooker.

    Ronnie and Rileys believe they can find the next ‘Rocket’ through a series of ‘Future Stars’ competitions nationwide for under-16s starting 27th March.

    Regional events will produce 120 winners, who then go head-to-head at regional venues until 8 players are left standing.

    The 8 will attend a ‘boot camp’ in Sheffield during the World Championships where they will be coached by top players in the game.

    They will then be put through their paces in a series of skills tests and interviews with Ronnie, who will then choose his winner – and start the process of turning him into snooker superstar!
    Along with this top coaching and mentoring by Ronnie, Rileys will provide the winner with a financial package worth Ł5,000 to support his snooker dreams.

    Ronnie said: “Firstly, this youngster will have to love the game. Then, he or she will need pots of talents. And probably most important of all, the desire to go all the way.“

    “The winner will work on cue skills and strategies with me, and I will do everything I can to help.“

    GB9 'WAGs' activities

    The move to hotels and developments for the tour mean that for many tour members each event can now be a true family occasion. The superb facilities on offer at Barceló hotels make it a great excuse for players to bring wives, girlfriends and children to enjoy the weekend. We thought it was a good idea to try to put on some sort of activity specifically for the WAGs and children at each tour event, and also to point people to local activities and attractions that they can enjoy whilst their boyfriend or hubby plays pool all day.
