Mark Gray accepts trophy from Konan Sanson at the Open di CastelBrando Cup
Mark Gray takes the 2013 CastelBrando Cup!

A very "decent start" to Mark Gray's pool year was the way he described it, after racking up his first title of 2013 (presumably one of many to come this season) in the beautiful Italian countryside in Treviso.

Gray, 39, from Bourne in Lincolnshire, said it was a "good result as it was a last minute decision to come here...!!!" Very true when you consider the quality of the competition. In the Quarter-Finals he beat Dutch champion Niels Feijen 9-5, in the Semi-Final's he beat Italian champion Fabio Petroni 11-6, and in Final he beat current European No.1 Albin Ouschan from Austria, 11-3.

One of the best 10-Ball players in the UK, Gray said it was a "very good competition in a lovely part of Italy" and loved the fact that the venue was a castle. He also expressed his thanks to Tournament Director, Konan Sanson, for running a great event.

Pro9 always wants to know what glamourous plans the champions have for their new found wealth after a big victory like this, but the surprise answer in this case was very down to Earth... Apparently Mark and his partner "can afford a few nappies for when the new arrival appears in June."

Our sincere congratulations - for both achievements!
