THERE IS certain to be a European winner of the ninth annual Betway World Cup of Pool as England A – Darren Appleton and Karl Boyes – put paid to Team USA in a tense quarter-final encounter at the Mountbatten Centre in Portsmouth.
The momentum ebbed and flowed as the English duo coasted into a 7-2 lead as the American pairing of Earl Strickland and Shane Van Boening looked patchy as they struggled to find a rhythm. That soon changed as the English grip on the match slipped away and at 7-7 the match was anyone’s.
A dry break from Shane Van Boening though halted the USA’s ascendancy and the English ran out to get to the hill and then broke and ran the last for a great win and a semi-final berth against Finland.
Appleton: “We made a dream start to get to 7-2 and the game was a bit too easy for us; we were controlling the cue ball really well, we kept them off the table really, we didn’t have anything difficult to do, and at 7-2 I was thinking we were winning easily without having to do much.
“At 7-2 Karl missed a tough bank on the 2 ball and it is 7-3, then they get lucky in the next rack where they missed a ball but got safe. It happened again the next rack and I am starting to think it is a twist and something was going to happen."

At that point we know the next rack is very big and Karl misses a really long, tough two ball and got unlucky to break open the seven which had been tied up. From 7-7 to 7-2 we didn’t do a lot wrong and to be fair to them they didn’t do a lot wrong. “Luckily at 7-7 they came dry and we took a really nice rack out to go 8-7. I said to Karl, just put a good break in, and he made a really good one. We just had to keep our arms still then.”
Boyes said, “It is difficult when you watch them come from 7-2 to 7-7 to get up and win. Earl Strickland can sit there and say we had a bit of luck but it is pool, they must have had a bit of luck to get back in it; that is the nature of the game.
“We showed a lot of bottle there to just be watching, losing a big 7-2 lead, to make two good finishes under pressure.
“We have been playing well. We have been a bit patchy with the break but we have been getting better and better in every round with the break and doing that under pressure will help our confidence.”
Now in its ninth year, the Betway 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 pairing of World Champion Niels Feijen and Nick Van den Berg showed some resolve to come from behind after trailing for most of the match. The Germans had earlier looked on the brink of defeat against Canada on Friday but came back from the dead after John Morra missed an unmissable 8 ball.
Holding that get-out-of-jail free card, the decorated German duo of Ralf Souquet and Thorsten Hohmann looked good as they got the better of the early stages, leading 5-2 at one point. At 7-5, they looked set to reach the hill before Hohmann missed a straight 8 ball which proved to be the turning point in the match.
The Dutch won the next to level the score at 7-7 and broke and ran the last two racks for what was an excellent win. They now face No.12 seeds Austria for a place in Sunday night’s final.
Feijen: “We broke pretty well I felt but we hardly had a shot. We made the one every time but couldn’t get on the two. We tried to work it out but went on instinct in the end and ran the last two racks."

You see how close every match is, you just have to go out there and play well, go one rack at a time. If you get the chance in the final to close it out, that is the first time you can think about it.
“Otherwise you get out of the momentum and if you start to think you are almost there you will slip and miss it.
Van Den Berg added, “When he missed the eight we sensed an opportunity. Hohmann got up on the shot really fast and missed it. We were tigers and we jumped right on that and won the match.”
