    Riley’s Wavertree Tour Stop 3 - 28th-29th August 2010

    Roy Kimberley won his fourth BWPPA main event in a year this weekend at Rileys Wavertree, but he had to do it the hard way after he lost his opening match 7-5 against current wheelchair English 8-ball World Champion Gary Swift. Kimberley however beat Mark McNeil convincingly 7-3 to go into the quarters. Scotland’s Matt Duffy also had to come through the one-loss bracket after he lost 7-3 to Aslam Abubaker, the Glaswegian made his way into the last 8 brushing aside Adam Pearson 7-1. Elsewhere in the main event, the surprise package of the Darlington Cup Shaun Madin tasted revenge at the hands of Matthew Gleaves “the Mole” running out a comfortable 7-1 victor. Madin did however reach the quarter-finals in the main event, before being beaten 7-5 by Gary Swift, his performance in the last 2 events was enough to see him catapulted up 9 places in the BWPPA main event rankings to #5 following his appearance in the final at Darlington. Frankie Gillen also finds himself outside of the elite top 8, after he lost 7-4 to Adam Pearson and 7-1 against Shaun Madin.

    JONATHAN MATHERS - IN THE CHAIR

    At the midway point in Season Three, arguably the most important season in the history of American Pool in Great Britain , talk amongst the players is already centring on the pitfalls, the possibilities, the perils and the promise regarding their beloved sport and where it’s headed. There’s no doubt whatsoever that the current incarnation that boasts the title of ‘National Tour’, the GB 9 Ball Tour, has taken the task of getting 9 Ball to the masses by the scruff of its collar in boldly moving houses but the question now is, are we on the right track to lavishly furnishing this new house in order to make it a home?

    The man with that answer is of course 39 year old Jonathan Mathers; researcher for Birmingham University by day, American Pool fanatic by night and during whatever time in between, the Chairperson of the GB 9 Ball Tour. “I’m not the boss of GB9 or the committee”, Jonathan is keen to point out as we sit down over a coffee, making me wonder if I’d sat down at the wrong table, until quickly following up that statement with the self-deprecating if slightly ominous, “I just keep a strategic eye on things”.

    Debut for World Champ and Euro No.1

    MATCHROOM SPORT can announce that England’s Karl Boyes, the current European No.1 ranked player, is the first man named to take part in this year’s PartyCasino.com Mosconi Cup.

    For the 27 year-old it crowns a remarkable run that saw him switch codes from the small table English 8 Ball game to ‘American’ pool in 2005. Since then he has established himself at the highest level, winning a host of titles along the way.

    ‘The Mosconi Cup is my ultimate ambition and I can't wait. Getting a place in the team is even better than winning the World 8 Ball Championship as the atmosphere is electric,’ said an ecstatic Boyes.

    Crucial Euro Tour Stage for Mosconi Cup Hopefuls

    The EPBF Euro Tour continues it's never-ending circulation of Europe's fine selection of countries, this time stopping for some Ten-Ball action in Finland as the EuroTour pays a visit to one of the more unusual venues - The BowlCircus Flamingo, spanning a massive 2,000 square meters and featuring twenty bowling lanes.

    This is an especially important event for some of the top ranked players as Matchroom Sport will be using the EuroTour rankings to determine some of Europe's Mosconi Cup team members, and after this event the points will be tallied.

    Good luck all to the players making the trip to Finland, let's hope it's worthwhile and a Pro9'er gets another victory.

    Xiao-Fang Fu Wins over Allison Fisher for World 9-Ball Championship

    Shanghai, China- A new name in the billiards world will stand out as China's Xiao-Fang Fu has been crowned the 2010 Women's World 10-Ball Championship. Fu toppled a star studded field and overcame legendary Allison Fisher in the finals to become the second consecutive Chinese woman to win the World 9-Ball.

    Fu made it through the beginning stage of the event making the top half cut to reach the round of 32 players. She made relatively short work of Hui Shan Lai 9-3, Ho Yun Tan 9-2, and a tough quarter finals match with former Amway Cup winner Chieh-Yu Chouh of Taiwan 9-7. In the semi-finals, she faced her friend and defending World 9-Ball Champ Sha Sha Liu of China, whom she defeated 9-6 to reach the finals.

    Mezz USA Presents TAR 19 Immonen vs Van Boening

    The Action Report is proud to announce another blockbuster challenge match featuring two of the elite players in the world. On October 12 thru 14 at Amsterdam Billiards in New York City, Mezz USA presents TAR 19 Mika Immonen vs Shane Van Boening in a $10,000 entry, winner take all match. The match will be Ten Ball, Race to 100 over three days. Two of the biggest players on the biggest stage.

    Between them these players have won the U.S. Open 9 Ball Championship the last three years in a row with Mika Immonen sweeping the last two in a row. Shane Van Boening has a reputation as a stone killer in one on one match ups and Mika Immonen was voted Player of the Decade for his unheard of record of major tournament victories all over the world. Can the Iceman overcome SVB's big break and proven track record in long heads up matches ? Can SVB deal with the Iceman's mental toughness that has been proven countless times in sudden death tournament situations? This match is sure to answer all those questions and more.

    It is only fitting for a match of this stature to take place in one of the most famous rooms in the United States. Amsterdam Billiards in New York City, New York has long been a benchmark for high end pool rooms not only in America but across the world. Home to numerous pro players over the years and renowned for a class atmosphere and playing conditions this is the perfect location for a clash of two champions. The New York City area is also home to a thriving pool community who we hope will come out and enjoy this rare treat of a match in their hometown.
