Second City 9 Ball
Solihull 9 Ball's fourth tournament of the year saw 39 players paid up and ready to claim their place in the Series Grand Final. To qualify for the Grand Final players needed to meet two criteria, to have played in a minimum of 3 events and then finish in the top 16 in the rankings. Based on previous tournament performances the likes of Al Coton, Elliott Sanderson, Benji Buckley and Stewart Colclough were already guaranteed their place. For others, a run in to the money stages could see them sneak in to the top 16 at the expense of some very good competitors. There was also ÂŁ1,000 prize money up for grabs as well as the conclusion to our straight pool high run competition.

Lee Starts the Year With a Bang!
12 players arrived at Aylesbury for the 2019 W.A.A.M.A.D (formally GNO) Players Championship. We had a few regulars missing, including chairman Tony Southern due to injury, and Press Officer Matt Lester due to another engagement.
This event saw the first running of our new triple elimination format, which guarantees all players at least 3 matches for their entry fee, and also to play for a guaranteed prize pot of ÂŁ700.
The early stages threw up some great clashes. A dramatic encounter between Craig Welsh and Frankie â€Hot-wheels’, which saw Welsh take a 7-5 victory.
Other first round action saw Darren Taylor beat Ifakhar Hussain 7-2, Dan Luton beat Adam Pearson by the same score, and Gary Swift beat the spokesman Keith Hance 7-3.
Among the heavyweights “the Sandman” Roy Kimberley survived an early scare against Welsh, Kimberley coming through 7-6. Daniel Lee started the season with a 7-2 win over Swift, while No 1 ranked, Dinsmore beat South Yorkshire’s Taylor 7-4.
