Kimberley back to winning ways, as Oliver wins back-to-back Challenge titles!

Escape Pool Bar in Barnsley was the venue for the penultimate BWPPA event of the season on 10/11 September 2016, the Kamui 9-ball Shootout.

Birmingham�s Roy Kimberley won his first main event on the tour in over 3 years beating Midlands rival Aslam Abubaker in the final.

Going into the event Daniel Lee and Fred Dinsmore seemed the only players still in realistic contention for the no.1 spot at the end of the season, which not only brings with it its own prestige but also a cue from our generous friends at Predator. Only some unusual results against the formbook could change that!

"Read More..." for the details.

After a first round bye, Kimberley got his campaign off to a good start with a hard fought 7-4 win over Challenge Cup Rankings Leader Nicky Oliver, and then he went into battle with old foe Abubaker who beat him 7-4.

This sent Kimberley to the losers� bracket where he had a 7-4 win over Danny Luton.

In the semi-final he faced Tony Southern, and in a closely fought match, he played the better safety of the 2 to take a 7-5 win for a place in the final.

In the other half of the draw, current no. 1 Lee won his first match 7-3 v Luton. He then lost to Southern 7-4 to go over to the loser�s side, where he became only the 2nd player in the tour's history to deny Fred Dinsmore a place in the semi-finals.

In the semi-final he faced Abubaker, and it was Abubaker who benefited from a crucial fluke late on to advance to the final with a 7-5 win.

The final was a rather one-sided affair, with Abubaker not at his usual level, this combined with flawless positional play from Kimberley, enabled him to take it 7-3.

After the final Kimberley said of his win �I would like to thank George Vetters and all the staff at the Escape Pool Bar, we are always made welcome, and I�m delighted to be back winning events.

This result puts the cat amongst the pigeons in the rankings going into the final event of the season in November, with Kimberley now in the mix, but the combinations are complex!

For Lee the equation is simple make the final, or if not finish better in the event than both Dinsmore and Kimberley.

Dinsmore or Kimberley have to win the event and hope Lee does not make the final to take the top spot on count back, it will be certainly be an exciting climax to the season!

The Challenge Cup final was won by Nicky Oliver who beat Darren Taylor 5-2. This was Oliver�s 2nd win a row and he is now odds-on to top the challenge rankings.
A video of the main event final is available here. Pictures of the event can be found in the BWPPA gallery.
