An eventful tournament at Telford this time, as the live streaming computer's video card has melted, perhaps under the strain of Saturday's colourful commentary by the outspoken Chris "Chief Pidgeon" Patient - so a chance of no live streaming of the final on Sunday, but fortunately the GB9 team were able to buy new graphics cards on Sunday, so no disappointment to the many who were looking forward to a day of top flight pool action.
Fortunately, we are able to share this selection of stunning black and white images created by the stylish lens of photographer Lee Rigby - all available to view in the article below, and as always we wish to express our gratitude for Lee's sterling efforts.

Denis Grabe (EST). Mezz Cues Baltic Pool League 2018 Stage IV Champion Click the image to view the full size picture - use "back" to return here.
MEZZ CUES BALTIC POOL LEAGUE 2018 TALLINN
Mezz Cues Baltic Pool League 2018 (BPL) fourth and final qualification stage was held in the Estonian capital Tallinn. The name of the game was eight ball. The host for the event was Hill Hill Pool Club. The winners of the third stage were Denis Grabe (EST), Ekaterina Polovinchuk (UKR) and Petteri Karapuu (FIN).
Grabe back on track
As always when Grabe participates in the BPL then he is one of the favourites to win it, and this time there was no exception. The fact is one from one, i.e. one stage participated and one win. Grabe showed his A game right from the start and never really was challenged. In the final he faces another Estonian Mark Mägi who was looking for his second stage win in the row. However, Grabe crushed his intentions with a solid 7:3 win. Third places were Kait Hinn (EST) and Vladislav Shopik (BLR).
As it often is in Estonia the Estonians dominated the event. There were once again six Estonians in the top eight.

Fred Dinsmore - Ireland
Dinsmore is the British 10-ball Champion
Once again Escape Pool Bar in Barnsley played host to the Tiger Cues Warrington British Wheelchair 10-ball Championship. Now in it's eighth year, for the first time in BWPPA history this event was the penultimate of the season. At this stage of the season, it is always interesting as players begin to jostle for position in the end of season rankings.
In the early stages there were no real surprises. As the tournament progressed however there was some outstanding performances. "Hot Wheels" Frankie Gillen played some terrific pool to win two hill-hill matches back to back. The first a 6-5 win over Gary Swift and, in what could be considered as the shock of the tournament a 6-5 win over Tony Southern.

Mark Gray Wins Massive UK Open Tournament Prize
The penultimate GB9 event of 2018 was upon us, and some of the finest pool players in the UK and Europe made their way to Telford for the UK Open. With Mosconi Cup ranking points up for grabs, as well as a guaranteed £10,000 prize fund, everything was to play for.
Early shocks were in abundance, with the open draw format meaning some big hitters battling it out early on. Benji Buckley edged out Tim De Ruyter, over from the Netherlands for his first GB9 event, with a tense 9-8 result. Wojciech Szewczyk brought his unique brand of cool and calm to dispatch Yorkshire legend Darren Appleton. Appleton wasn't at the top of his game after a difficult schedule over the last 12 months, but Szewczyk was ruthless in his performance. Northern Masters Challenge 2 winner Stephen Slater also showed his bottle dispatching debutant Ali Asgar Merchant in a final rack decider and James Jack, fresh from some recent high profile English 8-ball wins, took the biggest scalp in his 9 ball career with victory over Dave Nelson.
