2014 World Cup of Pool Mountbatten Centre Alexandra Park Portsmouth Hampshire PO2 9QA UNITED KINGDOM www.matchroompool.com - World Cup of Pool - Facebook www.seetickets.com www.visitportsmouth.co.uk
Tuesday-Sunday 23-28 September 2014

EARL STRICKLAND HAS promised he and partner Shane Van Boening will win the World Cup of Pool for USA and has warned England A they’ll be at the top of his hit list.
Strickland last played in the World Cup of Pool in 2006, also his last competitive appearance in the UK. On that occasion ‘The Pearl’ and his partner Rodney Morris made it to the final where they were defeated by Efren Reyes and Francisco Bustamante as Philippines lifted the trophy.
However, Strickland will venture back across the pond this September to represent USA in the World Cup of Pool in Portsmouth, and has warned the other 31 teams that America will be going one better than they did last time he played.
“It’s great to be back playing in the World Cup of Pool representing USA and great to be teamed up with partner Shane Van Boening,” said Strickland.
“My last appearance was in 2006 when I was teamed up with Rodney Morris and we reached the finals of the inaugural World Cup. This time with myself and Van Boening we look forward to winning the Cup for USA.”
England A’s Karl Boyes has already warned he would relish the opportunity to keep Earl ‘The Pearl’ Strickland quiet having defeated the veteran in a hotly-contested battle at last year’s Mosconi Cup in Las Vegas.

 ‘The Pearl’ says he has read Boyes’ comments and now seems even more motivated to get one over on England A.
“I saw Karl Boyes’ comments calling me out and I only have this to say; Victim Number One,” commented Strickland.
Now in its ninth year, the World Cup of Pool features 32 two-player teams from around the world battling it out for a $250,000 prize fund. The defending champions are the Philippines who will be among the favourites to claim a record-breaking fourth World Cup.
The field will be packed with some of the biggest names in world pool including Boyes and Darren Appleton (England A) Chris Melling and Daryl Peach (England B), as well as the likes of World Champions Niels Feijen, Mika Immonen, Thorsten Hohmann and Alex Pagulayan.
The event starts on Tuesday 23rd September and there are two sessions daily at 12 noon and 6.00pm during weekdays and then 1.00pm and 6.00pm at the weekend. Team USA get their campaign underway on Wednesday 24th September.
All tickets are priced at £5 (afternoons) and £10 evenings and are available from the venue or www.seetickets.com

Boyes – I’ll Shut Strickland Up Again
 Click the image to view the larger poster - use "back" to return here. England star will relish the opportunity to encounter Earl 'The Pearl'
Karl Boyes will relish the opportunity to keep Earl ‘The Pearl’ Strickland quiet should his England team come up against USA in the World Cup of Pool at the Mountbatten Centre in Portsmouth, September 23-28.
Boyes partners Darren Appleton in the England ‘A’ team while Strickland will pair up with his 2013 Mosconi Cup team-mate Shane Van Boening.
Boyes defeated Strickland 6-4 in a singles match at last year’s Mosconi Cup to put Team Europe on the hill for what became a famous 11-2 victory in Las Vegas, and the Blackpool man would love an opportunity to come up against ‘The Pearl’ once again in Portsmouth.
“I am thrilled to be playing in this year’s World Cup of Pool, again with my partner Darren Appleton,” he said. “We are the best two UK players so it's only right we make the A team once again.
 “The World Cup Of Pool, along with the Mosconi Cup, are the best two tournaments we have as pool players so everybody wants to do well in the event. We have a tough first round match against Spain but hopefully our experience in doubles play will stand us in good shape. The training has already started for this year’s World Cup Of Pool.
“On a personal note anytime I have the chance to shut Earl Strickland up you have to grasp it with both hands.
“Our main rivals are USA because of the Mosconi Cup. It's very intense when we do battle, and even in singles play throughout the season you can sense the tension.”
Now in its ninth year, the World Cup of Pool features 32 two-player teams from around the world battling it out for a $250,000 prize fund. The defending champions are the Philippines who will be among the favourites to claim a record-breaking fourth World Cup.
The field will be packed with some of the biggest names in world pool including Chris Melling and Daryl Peach (England B), as well as the likes of World Champions Niels Feijen, Mika Immonen, Thorsten Hohmann and Alex Pagulayan.
The event starts on Tuesday 23rd September and there are two sessions daily at 12 noon and 6.00pm during weekdays and then 1.00pm and 6.00pm at the weekend.
Tickets are priced at £5 for afternoon sessions, £10 for evening sessions with the all-session season ticket priced at £60. Commission is included although a transaction fee will apply.
